Ice Cream Hot Air Balloons


A wonderful signifier of warmer weather is the sound of a small plane overhead. Be it puddle-jumpers, flying lessons, small businesses, or someone just out for a nice fly… the sound of the plane’s motor brings forth images of bright blue skies, long green lawns, birdsong, cicadas, t-shirts, and shorts. For some, this is the sound of freedom. For others, it is the sound of summer and happier times.

And what comes with those small planes? Hot air balloons. They may not be around much during spring, but a summer isn’t complete without at least one evening with a hot air balloon hanging near the horizon or just over the tree line. So many of us have stared in wonder at these floating bags of striped colors. And if you go to hot air balloon shows, you’ll see hundreds of different sizes, colors, and shapes.  

Of course, Cold Cow’s particular favorite amongst all that variety are the ice cream balloons. Ever see one? They’re fun to pose with.
