Hot Air Balloon

A couple of weeks ago, a hot air balloon was floating around the sky really low pretty close our house. All the kids were having fun watching it. Suddenly, we realized it really was coming down next door to our house, so we decided to go and take a look. Sure enough, there is an empty lot just on the other side of us, and there was the balloon! We weren't the only people who decided to check out the spectacle. I think everyone in about a 1/2 mile radius was there. It ended up being quite a fun neighborhood event!

CK had been laying down all day sick, but she just couldn't resist the pull of the balloon!

Just as a point of reference, this is how close it was to our house. Our house is the roof you see between the 2 trees!

One of the riders was the daughter of the teacher in the class next to me. It was her 18th birthday and that is what her present was. It was very cool to see.
