Up, Up and Away!!!!!

Today was our first experience with the 'Balloons Aloft' event at Colinas del Norte! It was chilly in the morning, as is expected during the Balloon Fiesta, but we had a good time. I would be lying if I said I was not VERY upset that one, of the two balloons that launched from Nicki's elementary school was a Victoria's Secret balloon. Although it didn't have graphics on it other than the name, I found it HIGHLY INAPPROPRIATE for the setting.

Here are some pics I took! Although it isn't the same dramatic event as being on the field during the actual Fiesta when hundreds of balloons are launching, it WAS a really neat way to start the last day of the week! :-)
