Balloon Chase
One of our favorite things to
do in The Springs is go to
the Balloon Fest every Labor Day.
This year, my sister Kim and her husband Randy visited us during that time. Kim's favorite balloon was the bright yellow one with the starburst on the side. |
Since David and I love to chase the balloons and watch them land, we decided that this would be a good balloon to chase. |
Isn't that bright blue sky amazing? |
The crew started bringing the balloon down in a field off one of the main highways. |
But evidently they changed their mind, and headed to a nearby neighborhood. |
You can get such a good close up view when the balloons are coming down. |
Watching the balloon deflate is really exciting. |
It takes a whole crew to bring it down safely. |
The crew wears gloves to keep from damaging the delicate fabric of the balloons. |
The crew turns the basket on its side when the balloon comes down. I would love to know why. |
Packing away the balloon for another year. As one of our friends at church likes to say, "Just another day in paradise." |
