Balloon Fiesta!

One of the things Albuquerque is famous for is the Balloon Fiesta.  It is in its 38th year and it is a sight to behold.  This morning we headed out to Balloon Fiesta Park and watched the mass ascension.  We stood in the launch field with hot air balloons all around us.  It was so cool to see the balloons fill up with air and then sail off into the sky.  The boys oohed and aahed as we saw the balloons flying overhead.  It was the one of the coolest things ever.  I am already looking forward to next year.
