Anyone order a hot air balloon?











Early on a Sunday morning a loud noise woke us up. Hot air balloons are out frequently in the summer here. We've had a few pass very close over our neighborhood before. One even bumped a chimney down the street once. So I was familiar with the sound, and it sounded REALLY close. I ran outside to see the balloon land in our cul-de-sac. They later told us the wind stopped cooperating and they got stuck and had to land. I woke everyone else up to come and see. The kids even got to help bag the balloon. They were really excited about the whole thing. I'm pretty sure they won't see that again so we didn't mind getting up a little earlier then usual on a Sunday in June.
