Fall = Balloon Fiesta





Went to a balloon glow tonight. Albuquerque's claim to fame is our international balloon fiesta. It felt a little sentimental for me because at last years fiesta my grandpa, who was a balloon pilot, was still around. It was pretty incredible to walk amongst the balloons and count down with the crowd as over 30 balloons lit up simultaneously. We walked under a haunted house balloon and the wind tipped it toward us and it truly felt like this gigantic house would fall on us. Hyrum almost peed his pants I think. Being an international event Cole was able to converse with some Brazilians. The night ended with fireworks...fabulous fireworks. We would love to have company for next year's show. Come see us friends and we will share our balloon fiesta with you next time. It was very worthwhile.
