Nice, especially the first one.
I once went to a balloon festival, hoping to get some cool night-time shots of the balloons (they had a similar show planned to yours, zincprincess).
The missus and I sat around on a grassy bank for 3 and a half hours in quite chilly mid-autumn weather, waiting for the show to begin, me with my camera all set up.
A couple of balloons sort of started to inflate. Then, nothing.
About an hour later, after we had been waiting easily over 4 hours, an announcement was given then the show was cancelled due to the weather (too much wind).
We then enjoyed an hour’s wait for the train to take us back to civilization.
Lovely.
We did, however, get to enjoy a beautiful sunset, so all was not lost.
