This evening Hannah & Maggie go tearing out of the house and raising Cain! So, I followed them out and could hear a hot air balloon. I looked up, I looked over, I peeked from beneath the tree and no balloon. So I come back in - then they race out again, this time I spot it landing on the other side or the tree-line in the soccer field park next to us. I grab my camera and head over... Well, the balloon cleared the field of soccer kids - and the balloon pilot was sweet (smart) enough to put those 20+ kids to work. :-) Here's some photos of the balloon and the wrap up.

Stay in school, listen to your parents and teachers
stay off drugs and in about 10 years you can take a
free balloon ride with her.
How many kids can you stuff into a basket
Sixteen!
