Balloon Fiesta

We didn't get to go to the actual Balloon Fiesta because when Ma had Wednesday off,
the Fiesta was canceled due to rain and wind.  Then when Pa and Orion had Friday off,'
the weather was still not good enough for the balloons.  They where canceled again.
We were not certain if they were going to be canceled on Saturday but they went and so
 Pa, Orion, Macy, Payson and Addi-Belle drove all around to see them.  Ma had to work.
Every morning, Payson has kept asking to go see the balloons.  He did this for a week.
We kept promising him to go...but since it was canceled so many times he was wondering
if he was really going to see them.  Since the kids had such a great time, we thought we
would try again on Sunday.  Sunday was great.  There were about 500 balloons in the sky.
This is a panarama photo looking west.
It is very hard to get a photo with so many balloons in it.
The balloons start looking like pepper in the sky with the camera.
This photo has about 50 balloons in it.

Looking to the east at the Sandia Mountains.
 We drove to the other
side of the city as the balloons floated that direction.

Looking north east towards the mountain.

We stopped at the Rio Grande River and we were so glad we did.
What a great scene.



This is called "The Spash and Dash"
the balloon touches the river with the basket.

Everyone was excited also to see a horse patrol.
They could not resist petting the horse and talking
to the man.  He was very nice.

The man on horse patrol could not resist a photo.
After pictures like these, we were glad that
we did NOT go to the park. 
The river photos
are so beautiful.
