Here's a slideshow of all the fun we had today at the Balloon Fiesta with Kathy's parents. If you ever come to ABQ in October, this is definitely something you have to see! Each morning there is a "mass ascension" with hundreds of balloons. Way fun to be right next to all of them as they launched. Plus it is amazing that they can touch each other while they are inflating or while in the air, and no big deal - just bounce right off each other. The odd shapes are so fun to see, and this year there was a Darth Vader balloon from Germany. There were about 10 people completely decked out as storm troopers standing near the balloon and it was so funny, because people would hum the imperial march everywhere the storm troopers went. (If you would like to view larger versions of the photos, click on the yellow "person" icon on the lower left corner of the viewer and it will take you to a photo album where I've uploaded all these images.)
Here's a really short video we took that night of the balloon "glowdeo":
Love ya, Scott

Hey, Scott-thanks for the entertaining Hot air balloon video. We loved it and so did John. You always know how to have fun! Cute kids too. I can't believe how Jacob has grown and changed. He is still just as cute as ever. And Samuel-man he is already two huh? Fun Blog spot. Barbara
Two bits, four bits, six bits a peso, all for the 'glowdeo' stand up and say so!!! (wasn't that Becky's favorite cheer?) cool stuff you guys. I vote the family reunion to be there next year!

Yeah, come visit for the balloon fiesta next year. It would be very tight quarters, but you can camp out in our family and living rooms, and go see the balloon events. Then I'll put you all to work re-roofing our house for a couple of days. Anybody know where that "Chalk-box!" guy went?
Maybe he's broken down somewhere in our green motor-home that we traded him! or was that Curly Easen - how ever you spell it.
Funny! You remembered Curly. I had forgotten until I read your comment...........ah, the good ol' motor home!
