Hot Air Balloon Rally

In my opinion, the best part of Rendezvous Days in the small town I'm from is the Hot Air Balloon Rally. When I was young, we'd get up both Saturday and Sunday mornings at 6 a.m. and watch as the balloons inflated with hot air and rose above the horizon out my parents front window...then we'd head to the rally and choose a balloon to chase. Some years, we'd wake to the sound of the hot air balloons outside and watch as they near my parents home. I haven't been to the rally in over 15 years and this was the first time my girls were ever able to go. We had a great time taking it all in and capturing some photos. And next time I have photos to share of the the tethered ride we took after all of the other balloons took off. 

 I love all of the bright colors and designs.

 This one was my favorite - the colors and patterns were different than the rest.

 I love that the moon is just to the right of this one and if you look closely, the sun illuminates the left side of the balloon in almost the same shape as the moon.

 Good morning, Annie!

 One of us isn't fond of pictures, especially early in the morning.
