Balloon festival lift off!

Saturday morning was cold & dreary so Judy & I slept in & stayed at the campground as did almost everyone else.  We did keep an eye open and when they lifted off (about one mile away) we went outside to watch them go up, float right over us & the adjacent pond, then descend a couple miles away.  They spent more time setting up and tearing down that actually flying.  It was good to watch them float over all of us.  When the lifted off Saturday evening the wind was different and the blew much further from us.  There were 19 or 20 balloons at the festival, it's too bad the weather was so cold & windy as that stopped many of us from going to any of the other festival activities.
