My first "taste" of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta was simply chasing them around the city. We didn't go in the park grounds. We didn't have a plan. We simply woke up early, hopped in the car, picked a few to chase, and followed them around until they landed. It was really fun!
My first picture of the Fiesta. I was too excited, couldn't wait until we got closer, and had to snap one from the freeway. :)
Love this one!
Very Hawaiian of them.
So many balloons!
I like that this one has the main Fiesta balloon, as well as all three of the bumblebees and the beer bottle balloons!
This is the first one we chased to the ground. It landed right in the middle of someone's backyard! Think I can convince the military to allow one to land in mine next year?
We loved the colours in this one, and chose to follow it all over the place! We got lost a few times on random back roads in our attempt, but we kept our eye on it.
We were there right as it landed, literally about 30 feet away.
We even stayed to watch the crew dismantle it. They looked like they were having so much fun!
Anyone know how I can volunteer on a balloon crew next year, in return for a Fiesta ride? *dream*
