Morning Visitors

During the summer and even into the fall there are a few companies that give hot air balloon rides. We don't live very far from the local airport and I believe that is where the start their journeys. We can actually see the airport from our backyard. It is group of white buildings off in the distance in the second picture. In the third picture you can see they fly over our neighborhood. This occurrence is almost daily. We hear the blast from the balloon and run outside to take a peek. While we have never had any close calls they have actually hit the side of a neighbor's home once. So they really do get close. They have also landed in front of next door neighbor's driveway, unfortunately, it was before we moved in. (Maybe next year though) While I know one day the field behind our backyard will be homes and then two fields behind it will be businesses. I hope it isn't for a LONG time because I am REALLY loving where we live and the cool things we can see so easily.
