When October rolls around in Albuquerque it is all about the balloons!
This year was a spectacular show with the "box" working to the advantage of the balloonists nearly every day of the Fiesta. Seriously, for 10 days the balloons were up in the skies and they drifted towards our neck of the woods on more than a few days:)
This is an early morning view from Matthew's school.
I really should not be allowed to drive during this time of the year - ask the kids! I am a distraction - and you can see why!
One day I detoured to do some balloon chasing.... found a sweet spot near the Fiesta Park and the balloons all started drifting and landing by my car - so fun.
Another day I took Dad to balloon chase and they were all landing at our church!
Dad and I even got to help deflate one... yes I really do get this excited when I see balloons!
We opted to stay off the field and paid a little more for tickets on the museum grounds. Great decision - less crowds, easy parking and fantastic views. Still have to get up really early though:(
This was the second to last day of Fiesta and it was perfect - every balloon went up. Special shapes and all!
My excited face again!
Then they started landing on our field - kids and Michael helped with the Wells Fargo wagon and Darth Vader:)
The next day - the balloons landed in Mom and Dad's street. I found Dad celebrating with some champagne and some of the balloonists:)
Such a beautiful week to celebrate Fiesta! Something everyone should enjoy at least once in their lifetime:)
