So today I decided to go and "chase" the balloons. I got up later than yesterday which was nice, Zach wanted to go too, so he and I drove to a close by area that I thought we would have a good spot to take a few photos. Well, I don't know how good the photos are, but the memories are GREAT! This balloon landed very close by where we were parked.
Then they called out to another couple that was close by to help hold them down. Then once their chase crew arrived all these people started walking the balloon across the street so they could pack it up. It was pretty cool to watch. I had a great time!
Here they are bringing in down and deflating it. How cool! It was definitely worth getting up and going on the chase. About the time they got packed up, another balloon landed close by, but once their chase crew arrived, they swapped out riders and took off again. I guess it was a great landing spot, because we saw quite a few of them in the area on the way home. Chasing the balloons may become a tradition for me!
How cool. I bought Robert a balloon ride a few yrs ago, but he lost the gift certificate and when he finally found it, it had expired. I was so bummed because I think it would have been so much fun.
