Hot Air Balloon Landing!

Right in my backyard! I was on the phone with Chuck when I heard the unmistakable sound of a hot air balloon - really LOUD! It was right on top of the neighbor's house and coming in for a landing in the marsh behind my house. Here's what it looked like:

 

I had to run and get Gabe, the neighbor kid - you just can't miss this kind of thing!

 

Looks like there are five or six people in that little basket.

 

Scott from around the cul de sac came over, video cam running. In fact, the entire neighborhood turned out. This is pretty exciting stuff for us.

 

And this is what it looked like as they collapsed that giant balloon:

 

 

Then they flattened it, packed it into a big square bag, stuffed it and the basket into a little black trailer, and off they went to their next adventure. Or dinner, more likely.

 

Fun!
