Balloon in the backyard

Well, almost :-)





What a wonderful way to cap off a beautiful Sabbath.

We had a little unexpected excitement this evening. As the sun was beginning to set and the clear view out back intensified with an orange tinge, a hot-air balloon floated up over the hill. It landed nearly in our backyard. We hiked back to meet it. The kids were thrilled to get a chance to hop in the basket and pull on the valve cord. Then before we knew it, the balloon was taken down, rolled up, and packed away in its trailer.
