We went to the balloon festival parade this morning.  My daughter helped with her school's float.  In the evening, hot air balloons from the festival landed in our neighborhood.  One landed two houses down.  We went over and watched them.  The pilot invited us over to check the balloon out up close.  The boys helped pack up the envelope.  Most balloons have a chase vehicle with a trailer, but this crew just used a pickup- the basket fit on a lift gate on the back.  It was interesting to watch them pack it all away.
