Balloon Rally

the last weekend of the Highlands Festival is the balloons!!! the winds were off this weekend and it was the first time since we've moved here we were not greeted first thing in the morning by a passing balloon right over the house! Nothing like making some tea first thing in the morning and hearing this loud hiss right out the window and looking up to see a hotair balloon over your backyard! Last year the balloon was so low they asked for directions and if it would be ok to put down across the road at the cowpasture....?

Energizer Ears?? It will make sense in a minute....

right in front of us.

and off they go...

so cool...

um.... nope it's not a huge spilt bottle of pepto bismal.....

getting bigger

what the?

the enegizer bunny balloon?

yup

this is apparently the biggest hotair balloon made, as you can see it dwarfs the normal balloon.

it didn't fly off - just stayed around hoovering over the field.

dad and the girls are under the foot

bellyshot!

trying to not get stepped on.....
