We finally ventured out to watch the annual balloon launch today - it was the last day and we were tired but we pulled it off regardless. We were later than we like to be so Mark dropped the girls & I off while he parked the car (it actually didn't seem very crowded - perhaps Sunday is the day to go?). The girls loved watching the balloons. We stood between two that were getting ready to go while we waited for Mark. Heidi was a little nervous about the fires but every time they turned them off she'd say 'Wow!'
Heidi also waved at each balloon as it took off. Here were some of our favorite balloons:
The bumble bees - they hold hands and kiss before they head off. There is also a 3rd bee but I didn't get it in the pics (it isn't attached so it drifts off pretty quickly).
Getting ready to kiss - I didn't get a good shot of the real action, unfortunately!
Empty field. Sun above the horizon. Cold girls. But we're so glad we pulled it off!
