Up, Up And Away In That Balloon

We made our first hot-air balloon up close and personal visit. We usually sit on the back row and watch. With out brave (New Jersey resident) daughter, we just marched right down into the middle of the major material filled melee. It was so interesting to watch the owners pull out the yards and yards of fabric that make up these floating giants. The canisters of gas, fans and process to begin and completely fill them is interesting. This particular colorful balloon's owners were from Sweden. They had the Swedish flag flying. We got so comfortable that we almost asked for a ride.
