Happy Columbus Day (2014 International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta)



While it's not really one of his ships...
It was so fitting.


I just got back from the International Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque.








The Special Shape Balloons always delight.



I think the Blue Whale had to be my favorite this year.


Yoda's eyes looked right thru you. That was pretty cool.



There is always room to get crazy at the fiesta...



It was just getting light, so you really don't get the full effect of this hair color.
I've never seen anything quite so vibrant...
Especially on someone who was at least my age!
I never thought of florescent pink as a color I could wear.
 
LOL!!



This guy proves that
 a good time was had by all!

  3. I didn't see you at the shapes launch. We left my daughter's house at 5 AM. Drove to second row parking. The three year old and the eight year old grandson have been before and they were awed. They kept pointing more and more shapes. Then we went to breakfast at Garcia's - yummy! Glad you had a wonderful time. Your pics are much better than mine.
