Balloon Festival

The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is celebrating 100 years this year and they decided to have a balloon festival since the very first ever race at the speedway was a balloon race back in 1909. We took Rylie over thinking she would love to look at the colors in the balloons. It was very interesting. They allowed you to go on the field and talk with the balloon drivers. Believe it or not, they are actually certified pilots just like airline pilots except they are not allowed to fly in the dark since the balloons have no transponder lights.
