Hot Air Balloon Weekend


View from our backyard Sunday morning. 



The first weekend in November is my favorite.  We watch the hot air balloons lift off every morning and on Saturday night the main street is closed to let some of the balloons light up.  This year on Friday morning after my kids went to school, I went walking with some friends along the rim trail.  Saturday morning my kids and I went along the trail to watch the balloons. Whenever I look out over the golf course or the lake and see the balloons, it reminds me of the beautiful place we live in.  We are so blessed to live in such a naturally beautiful area. There weren't as many balloons this year as the past few years.  They come so close we can talk to the pilots and they always say hi and are friendly.
