As the other balloons took off one by one, we stuck around for the tethered rides that the Riverton Balloon was offering. We all gathered around and got to watch the entire process of rolling the balloon out, tethering it to some vehicles, and inflating it with fans and hot air.
It's amazing how gigantic it is up-close.
We were lucky to be the first in line. (Annie might argue that lucky isn't the proper word, that instead we were smart cause we lined up first). Anyway, she and the girls got to be the first ones to go up.
Ana and I were next in line and enjoyed the lift quite a bit.
I must say that my tether ride only left me wanting more, even though the only other time I've been up and on a real ride, we practically crash landed. Apparently it's been long enough and just the feeling of floating up in the air without the noise and pressure of an airplane is heavenly to me.
I'm glad that the rally just happened to be the same weekend we were home visiting!
