Description Translate
And ... so .... they let all the balloons go at the same time!

It is a really wild scene, probably impossible to convey completely with a still photo. The balloons, being quite big and long, go far up into the air in a wild explosion of color and lots of cheering and excitement.

I've never seen anything like it before. Certainly totally different than the experience at a US baseball park!

That's my son's face at right, saying "See, Dad...just like I told you!" He and his wife had been at a game a year or two before this one and had told us "This is something you really have to experience!". So, we did.
