 |
| Once a year Saint Louis has the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. |
| |
 |
| The balloons are |
| |
 |
| inflated in groups |
| |
 |
| to prevent too much traffic |
| |
 |
| in the sky. |
| |

| |
 |
| This year the Energizer bunny balloon didn't fly, they just inflated and deflated it (it was enormous). |
| |
 |
| Ilaria and the developing one were there with me. |
| |
 |
| I knew this would be something new that Ilaria would like (I'd seen it when I was a kid in St. Louis). |

 |
| Towards the middle |
| |
 |
| of the race |
| |
 |
| there were balloons |
| |
 |
| as far as you could see. |
| |
 |
| Hopefully next year |
| |
 |
| the developing one will get to see them too. |
