Hot Air Balloons

Early this morning, Flash started barking. Usually, when he starts early and won't stop it is due to his seeing a hot air balloon.

After hearing him bark, the kids immediately rushed outside to look up in the sky. Sure enough there were two balloons floating very close to our house. I knew they had to be landing somewhere close and soon!

So...we packed everyone up in the car, left Daddy who was still sleeping in bed, and went to look for the balloons. We had almost given up, when we circled around to the bowling alley parking lot and saw the two balloons.

One had just landed so we watched them pack it up. The other (pictured below) was about to take off. We watched as it went up and then we headed home.

What a great before-chiurch activity!

Captivated with the entire balloon process!
