Look! In the sky! It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a ....hot air balloon!

Wow it has been awhile since I have posted anything! Things have been pretty busy around here but we did have time to go to the Balloon Fiesta here in Albuquerque. For a whole week hot air balloons fill the skies. It's pretty darn cool and makes it hard to drive to work in the morning. All I wanted to do was to look up at the balloons and not at the road!

We got up really early ( 4am) and drove out to the field for the balloon launch!
The following pictures aren't mine. I do not have the guts to go up in a hot air balloon. The idea of nothing but a wicker basket stopping me from falling to my death does not seem very smart. A friend of mine took them and said I could post them.





It was a lot of fun! After the launch we went out to breakfast then back home to take a nap. Cameron has been busy with school and I am chugging along at work. At the end of the year Cameron is going to apply to be a manager at our apartment complex. If he gets it that will mean free rent! Pray that he gets it! If he does them I plan on going part time and going back to school.

We are super excited for Thanksgiving. We are driving up to Utah to visit our friends Steve and Jessica Scholle and their new baby boy Cooper! We are spending the whole week there and couldn't be more excited!

OK, we do get hot air balloons here in Fresno, but never that many!!!! Very cool. Yes, it did look like you were in one, so I am glad that you explained.

Cameron wanted to go up in one but I said no. Maybe next year....but probably not!
