Hot Air Balloon Festival


Dan's cousin, Tom, recently relocated to Arizona. Tom's Mom, Gerri, is visiting him for 3 months. Last night we were invited to Cave Creek's hot air balloon festival. The nighttime temperature was chilly. But we weren't out there very long and got to see the best of the best.

All the balloons were fully inflated by 7:30 p.m. Then minutes later, we witnessed four skydivers jumping out of a plane with pyrotechnics. It was so exciting. It's a must to mark on next year's calendar. I highly recommend the public parking and taking the shuttle bus to the Rancho Manana golf course. Trying to find a parking spot any closer was ridiculous. Here is the website for more information www.cavecreekballoonfestival.com

That sounds so fun! Vincent loves seeing hot air balloons. We'll have to mark our calendar for next year.

Wished we could have gone. Looks like a ton of fun. Maybe next year Katelyn will be feeling better and we can go then.
