Hot Air Balloon Festival

This June, we went camping in Vermont for the Queechee Hot Air Balloon Festival and had a great time! The kids loved seeing all the hot balloons up close and in flight. (And I thought it was a pretty awesome sight as well). The festival had some games and activities for the kids and lots of vendors selling their mostly homemade items.

They have different things going on during the festival too. Friday night they had a cool balloon glow. They had skydivers jumping out of planes and landing in the field. Lots of entertainment and music.

Admission was paid once and honored all weekend. And it was not expensive at $10 per adult, $5 per child 6-12 and under 5 free!

We camped at a local KOA but there were lots of hotels in the area too. Highly recommended!

The festival is held Father's Day weekend every year and we plan on going back again per the kids orders! =)

If you know of other balloon festivals in New England...please let me know!

Camping

Our family loves to go camping. And by camping I mean sleep in our 32' travel trailer, lol. But it's still lots of fun. We have quite a few trips planned for this year. Our first one will be in June to Vermont. We're going to a hot air balloon festival. We've wanted to go a few years now but could never get a campsite closeby...but we booked early this year. (although not early enough since we got the very last site) I think the kids will find that awesome!

The one I'm looking forward to the most is at Pine Acres Resort out in Oakham, MA. The places looks phenomenal and we've heard that it's wonderful from a few families. We're going there in July for a week....the kids are super excited.

I'll be posting some reviews after our trips this year...it's nice to read about a place before you book it, should I have any camping enthusiasts out here. (and if I do, please let me know your favorite places!)
