Up Up and Away

Every summer Cody hosts the annual Wild West Balloon Festival. It is typically the first weekend in August, but this year it was the last weekend in July. The festival takes place at the park just southeast of our house and is within walking distance. They lift off is at dusk so it is a bit early to get everyone up and at em'. The best part is that we can see it all from our front door. So we can sit on the porch in our PJ's and watch the show. Some years the balloons go directly over our house and we can actually say "hello" to the balloon master in the basket. One by one they lift off and away they float. It is pretty fast and over in a hurry, but I managed to get some pics that capture the scene. I think we have some of the best seats in the house for this event:)
