Yesterday we watched the Mass Ascension of balloons at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. Today we chased balloons!

We chased them across town….

Through neighborhoods….

Through the trees….

Over hills….

Along the mountain range….

And my favorite, beyond the cows….

We watched them land….

We watched them deflate….

We watched them work to secure the balloons….

And finally, fold the balloons so they could be packed away for the next trip….

It was quite the adventure. The excitement of spotting a balloon then racing in its direction in hopes of seeing it land. Of course I had the added excitement of trying to get to the balloons in time to take pictures.

I actually climbed part way out the sunroof, as Tina drove, so I could get pictures….what a blast!
