Hot Air Balloons Everywhere

I love going out and seeing the hot air balloons. They once landed in our field and left us a basket with champagne and information in it for us. I was not here for that, but I did manage to FINALLY catch a balloon landing in another field on Sunday.

There were 8 balloons up that day. Don't strain your eyes...there are only four in this picture.


I loved the pattern on this one!


And they're down!


That would be a little scary...
I don't remember that when I did a hot air balloon ride with my mom.
Speaking of which...


There's our balloon...


And there's me in the basket.

It was a lot of fun! Scary at first because it's not like a plane or anything. It's run by hot air and thermals. So...reliability? Not so much. Still, beautiful views of the land around you.

They deflate very quickly.
