I took my boys to the festival. Got there almost 5 pm. Traffic across the bay bridge was terrible, creeping. I got home after 11 pm. We had a great time. Love it. There is also a great sunflower field next to the park, did not have time to photograph sunflowers.
Here are some photos from my cell phone to give you a view of the festival. The lines were long. Took over an hour to get a ride on the hot air balloon, took about an hour on line to get something to eat. Took more than 1/2 hr to get out of the parking lot. Many people were there, my son estimated almost 10,000. I thought it was less.
Tomorrow is the last day. It is a great fun for family. A music band played on a stage for entertainment. Families were prepared with chairs, blanket and food.
People were not wearing mask, only a handful.
Take care
Dale
