Last year i posted a few pics i snapped right from the shop, this year we went down right on the field and everything, and it was AWESOME!!! up from last year there where just over 700 balloons, this is the largest international balloon fiesta in the world and also it is the most photographed event in the world!! impressive stuff.



the first wave had just gotten off when we got there. they line up in rows of 10-12 and just have at it... when one row is up the next is ready to go, and we where right there in the middle of it... balloons lifting off all around us



here we are going in







here some are lining up



















yeah balloons everywhere!!











and the ever popular special shapes, always fun







thirsty anyone??











we where on the wrong side of the bees but they always go up "holding hands" they are connected at the hands and once in the air the pilots can turn then and make them hug and also pull the cord to go their own separate ways



















gatta love vador!!
