Balloon Fiesta!

This month is the annual International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque!  It's fun & pretty, but can be dangerous.  There were a few accidents this year.  One morning we woke up to a bunch of balloons heading to our neighborhood in Rio Rancho!  There's some good spots for them to land here if they're careful.  So here are some pics from the other day:

The invasion begins

One over our neighbor's house

ACK!  It's the alien one!

There are so many fun shapes to see!  If you go to http://www.koat.com/news/new-mexico

And click on the header that says Balloon Fiesta, it will take you to a bunch of sites with pictures of the special shapes rodeo, splash & dash in the Rio Grande, etc.  Have fun checking it out!  And watch our for that "Wicked" one!  Maybe you'll get to see the Bee family or Clarabelle or the Wells Fargo Wagon!
