At the Plymouth Blueberry Festival!

First thing first, here is some info about Plymouth Indiana (about 45 minute drive east of Valparaiso):

Plymouth is a city in Marshall County, Indiana, United States. The population was 9,840 at the 2000 census. The city is the county seat of Marshall CountyGR6. Plymouth was the site of the first retail outlet of defunct U.S. retailer Montgomery Ward in 1926.

Plymouth has three annual festivals. The largest is the Blueberry Festival held each Labor Day weekend since 1966. Centered in Plymouth's large Centennial Park, the Blueberry Festival is attended by over 500,000 people each year, second only to the Indianapolis 500 in size for Indiana weekend events. The Blueberry Festival includes dozens of live musical acts on three stages, a large parade, several running events, a tractor pull, a horse pull, softball tournaments, basketball tournaments, arm wrestling competition, hot air balloon launch, tennis tournament, bike tour, fishing derby, car show, motorcycle show, and local and international crafts and food.
We went there because I've never seen a hot air balloon before. It was worth it!

Then we waited around til abot 8:30PM for the Hot Air Balloon Glow! Jasmine loved it!!!
