The Balloons Are Here!
October 07, 2017 10:09 Book stuff | Food for Thought
It's a wonderful time of the year — roasted chiles, cool mornings, and hot air balloons. Our crew had a fabulous time this morning — we were there in spirit this am.
No matter how jaded you are, the sight of the wonderful and colorful balloons makes you stop and look. Every year we have to see the new special shapes.
This year, a search at the entry of Balloon Fiesta Park has slowed entry down a little. Because of Las Vegas, Balloon Fiesta is being careful. They had to be careful with drones because drones and balloons don’t play well together. But Las Vegas made things even more interesting.
Isn’t it sad that an event so beautiful has to be so careful because of a sad event?
It is the biggest show on earth and aren’t we lucky to have it in our backyard? The rains have stopped and it is now – UP UP & AWAY!
