Carousel Horse

The carousel has always been a favorite ride for children.

By today's ride standards, it is probably not very exciting or desired, but it is still fun.

Ride the horse and watch the world pass by!

Long Island's Metro NY Balloon & Music Festival

We went early this morning, sunrise actually, to the

Metro NY Balloon & Music Festival,

being held August 10th, 11th & 12th at Brookhaven Calabro Airport.

~~~~~~~~~~

Unfortunately, a north wind kept the balloons from flying.

As one balloon owner said, "...in this wind, nowhere to go but the ocean!"

It was wonderful to watch the balloons fire up and get ready.

For more information, directions and the festival information, visit the website..here.

I will tell you that it costs $10 to park and $25 per person to enter.

No coolers allowed but you can bring in a folding chair.

I will be posting more photos soon!
