Late enough to get out of setting up... we went right up!

This is absolutely my favorite picture.  Ally cowering on the floor.

Ally wanted a photo of the horses... since she was too scared to get up and look.

We spent some time close to the ground.  There were many spectators.

We were close enough to the tree tops for Matt to grab a baby pine cone.

Landing was tough.  We had to find a spot and used some trees as a bumper.

 After we finished, we had to pack the balloon (not me, allergies) and drive back to the cars

When we arrived, we enjoyed a nice champagne toast and celebrated our journey.
