Balloon ride

For Chris' birthday we went on a hot air balloon ride. I see the balloons almost every morning when I walk the kids to school and was really excited to go on one.

We rode in a large basket with twelve other people plus the pilot. We went on the coldest morning possible (26 degrees) but while up in the air we were warm--the air inside the balloon was 200 degrees!

It was great and we hope to go again in a smaller balloon someday.
