HOT AIR BALLOONS 9-2-12

 Sun. 9-2-12 - We got up at 6:00 am and drove out to the airport where the balloons are launched.  It was quite spectacular - they are so huge up close!  They are just starting to inflate one of the BEEs in picture above, and Ted, Ken and April taking it all in below.

 The flames they use to inflate them looks like it would catch them on fire.  The picture below shows all 3 BEEs taking off, with other balloons well on their way.  Next year I want to take a balloon ride with Ted.  I hope April and Ken will agree to go with us.  It's one of those "once in a lifetime" adventures!


Took the picture below at 8:00 am on Sat. 9-1 from our deck.  The balloons are only up for about an hour, but I bet you get some great pictures during the ride.
 

 This was the last picture I took of the balloons heading toward the sunrise and Sequim.  Of course I took many, many pictures and it was hard to decide which ones to post on the blog - but you get the idea.  We stopped for breakfast then April and Ken headed for home.  Looking forward to all of us taking a ride next year.
