Balloon Festival

Wow.  I'm amazed.  After a little arguing (that always happens whenever we are getting ready and I'm taking to long) we arrived.  J carried our chairs and I carried the tripod and my camera bag.  I only used one lens.  My 28-70mm f2.8-4.0.  I'm really glad I brought my tripod because I wouldn't have gotten the shots that I got! 
We watched the balloons "glow" and "twinkle" in groups.  Some were brighter than others and some more colorful.  The ReMax balloon stood out since the words were written in large letters across it but we still had a great time!

After the balloon glow, the Army had skydivers jump out of an airplane.  In the DARK!!!  The only shot I got looks like something NASA would have captured years ago!

Balloon Fest 035 It's bad and they were moving too fast!  But it was really cool.

After they landed and cleared away...........the fireworks began!
