The Hot Air Is Strong With This One

A couple of weeks ago, we went out to New Mexico for a few days to visit some of Melissa's family. In addition to insisting on having green chile on everything1, we went to the Balloon Fiesta, where we learned several things. First, you have to get up really early in the morning if you want to get there for the mass ascension. Second, even if you call it a shuttle bus, there's not nearly enough leg room for someone my height on a school bus. Third, and probably most importantly, while there are balloons of all shapes and sizes there are a few that will make me insist on rushing across the field to get a better look2.







1Ok, not everything. We didn't put it on waffles or anything like that...though that might be good.
2Thanks to Melissa, who assembled this video and added the music, since I had no clue what I was doing.
