One evening after supper, we spotted some visitors in the sky around our house…
At least 8 hot air balloons were floating directly over the soybean fields beside and behind our house. They were quite low so the “whoosh whoosh” of the flames were pretty loud. We watched from our side yard as the balloons kept getting lower and lower. (We were hoping they weren’t going to land in the soybeans or clip our power lines!)
We put Ashleigh in the stroller and started to walk down the road where the balloons were landing in our neighbor’s yard!
(We thought it was pretty funny that the Michigan and Michigan State balloons both landed in the same yard!)
So as we were walking closer to the balloon, the pilot and owner of the Michigan State balloon asked if we wanted to go up! We said yes! As we got closer to the balloon, Ashleigh freaked out. She was terrified of the flame and the noise. So Matt and I took turns holding Ashleigh and we each got to go up in the balloon. It was so peaceful! (well, besides the fact that Ashleigh was screaming on the ground below!)
What a fun evening!
