Balloons!!

The one on the left had quite a time getting in the air!!
I am not going to say alot in this blog, just let the pictures speak for themselves !!

 BUT let it be known that i got up at 4am as the paper said that lift off was at dawn at 5am and of course i wanted to see that (this was at JE Jewell Elementary School. We lived right near here for years and Brian went to school here from 3-5th grade)
Boy did not think i could do it, went back and forth the night b4, finally set my alarm at 1am, and did get up and was there at 5am AND barely anyone else was!! But people and cars kept showing up! Lots of cameras, TV was there!! and by 7am they were all off, then went to my friends house as had to go to bathroom!! AND the balloons were right over her mobile home!! I did get her up!! Which i felt bad about as she has a hard time sleeping, but she said she was awake!!

There were 6 of them, not quite like in New Mexico, but still thrilling!!!!
That 1st one was up and away, far away by the time the others got up...

Here he is finally away..... some of the people watching were old hats at this (my 1st time) and were surprised that they took off, as the wind had come up quite a bit..

I could never get all 5 of them in the same frame.
This last one was over Carol's house...

Have a great day one and all, it was actually cold out there and i had to have a jacket on as did most people, but it is now at noon heating right up!!

Take Care All and God Bless
