Hell of a Balloon Show this morning

Jackie did get up and we took the guys to the gate at 5:30am. We then came back walked Valley around, watched the Dawn Patrol show, that was neat, it was still dark and they were making their balloons glow, then at 7am headed for the balloon field. We found where the guys were and they hadn't even started setting up yet. When they did get going Bob got to go in the Balloon with the owner and Dave was in the chase vehicle. What a hell of a show seeing hundreds of balloons take off, different shapes, colors ect. now we know what we missed 2 years ago when it got rained out. Thousands and thousands of people walking around the food and vendors booths, will wait until Monday or Tuesday to check out the stuff, when everyone has gone back to work.
We got back to the rigs by 11am, had lunch and Bob and Dave went to sleep. Starting at 6pm tonight is more balloon activities and fireworks, if it doesn't rain.
