19th Hot Air Balloon Fiesta

There is something so mesmerizing about things that fly. It's something right out of a child's imagination. As with most people in our group this is our first time to see a hot air balloon up close and as you can see we went crazies on them. (Actually just me, I photographed the thing like an angry hound. haha)

We almost didn't make it actually, our driver didn't know where to go! We went around and passed 4-5 toll gates. Imagine the toll fees we paid! We got there 15 minutes before lift off.

The place was packed! People went there with camping equipment.
