Ballons over Boise ~

About 90 seconds long...

The balloon ride!!

As usual, double click pix to enlarge...

The gang at the tailgate party afterwards... Yes, there was the traditional champagne!



Away we go! What you don't see is how tight I was hanging on at first!!! And I was too nervous to turn around and wave at the husband!



Aye, Aye & Up She Rises...



Tim, the pilot, firing up the propane...



Pretty maids all in a row...



The dashboard ~ Jim said "Nothing like a B-52!!" My apologies ~ I should have rotated this pic before posting it ~ the instruments are ABOVE the gas tank!



Neighbors ~

Up, Up and Away!!!

...in my beautiful balloon!

Hot-air balloon ride

CHECK!!!

And... PRICELESS, because hubby is footing the bill as my birthday present!
Thanks, honey!!

In other news... There's a very good chance that I will be getting to play puppy mid-wife again! My friend K. has bred our Seamus' sister Hannah. We won't know for sure that she's pregnant for another week and a half ~ if she is, she'll be delivering around October 6th. Yippeee!

Expect lots of pix from both events!!
