Montgolfières

Aug 10-19 is the Internation Hot-Air Balloon Festival in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, QC. Basically about 150 hot-air balloons take flight at about the same time, and this could happen twice a day for 9 days. It's pretty impressive:

There were a couple of special forms:

Monkey



Beaver



Turtle



Pirate in a Barrel



Rooster

A couple of really nice regular shaped ones:

We even got up close and personal with a few:

I even met a ladybug that seemed to like me a lot, which is great because I just love ladybugs.

I knit quite a bit, cause I'm on a knit for hire deadline. So there will be no pictures of it unfortunately, It is quite nice.

We got to see Denis DiYoung (Styx) perform, and I got to hear Mr. Roboto live by the original band, it was pretty funny (never thought I'd see that in my life)
