Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta 2007

Well, we are once again at the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque, NM. This year we are assistant hosts for the Escapees HOP. We came in yesterday morning and will be here through Sunday. The balloons in this picture are taking part in competitions. This morning they are trying to drop a weighted marker on a specific target within the field. The drops are from different heights....some from just inches from the ground and some from quite a distance up in the air. They were flying right above the motorhome this morning...I just hope the wind is favorable all this week and it keeps them flying this way and not the opposite direction. Life is good!
