A Magical Glow

Tonight we went to Shelburne Museum to see the first annual balloon glow. It was a beautiful night-the sky was clear, the stars were shining and the moon was almost full. As we walked around the museum grounds we were enchanted. There were maybe 12 balloons that were lit up and glowing in the night. It was also fun to walk around the grounds of a place that is so familiar to us but seemed quite new and magical at night. I did my best to capture the evening in pictures but it was really hard to take any good pictures of balloons that were so huge up close.

This is the old Ticonderoga ferry in the background. It once took passengers across Lake Champlain.



Do you think the kids had a good time? :)
