At the Long Island Hot Air Balloon Festival

"Dips and Nidhin at the festival"

"Large colorful balloons were all over the place."

"We were able to see balloons being inflated. First, they use a large fan to blow it up and then use the hot air to get it fully inflated."

"Is Nidhin flying away by himself? Well, it was very windy that day, so the balloons did not fly. Nidhin's taking a tethered ride in the balloon. Dips is in the basket too, all the way in the back."

"Check out the beige colored balloon being blown by the high winds."

"Even though none of the balloons took off that evening, all the balloons were inflated and it was a beautiful sight. We really wanted to take a ride in one of the balloons - well, maybe another time......"

"Waiting in line for the tethered ride. The balloons are tied to the ground and they take you up about a 100 feet and then bring you back down."

"Sky diving was one of the activities at the festival to keep people entertained till the evening when the balloons were supposed to take off. Hot air balloons usually fly either at dawn or dusk when the winds are at their calmest. "
