A Surprise Hot Air Balloon Ride!

My husband and boys planned a little surprise birthday hot air balloon ride for Saturday.  It was a beautiful day for it!
 
We arrived just before 8 am and got to help them set up.  Connecting the balloon to the basket.

 
Inflating the balloon first with a huge fan...

 
and then propane...that was a little scary!
 
 
Climbing in - all aboard.

 
And we're off!

 
Over Boise we go.  Seeing the changing leaves from above was spectacular.


Over the corn fields.

 
Passing another balloon.

 
Over the Eagle River and a beautiful neighborhood with wide streets...perfect for landing.

 
And that is exactly what we did after about a hour and half, landed in a neighborhood.  Boy did we draw a crowd! *Ü*

 
We climbed out and helped to deflate the balloon.

 
We tied it up and put it in the big envelope bag.

 
Then loaded the truck after the flight crew arrived. and they gave us a ride back to our car.  Our pilot Greg was amazing, definitely not his first flight (thank goodness!).  What a beautiful day and a very fun surprise!
