Balloon Stampede

I woke the kids up at 5 and Anja and I drove to Walla Walla with them. The morning was clear and perfect for hot-air balloons.

The first balloons left before the scheduled launch time so we missed a bit of the action while we were parking.

 There were some balloons that were familiar from Prosser as well as new ones.

 This was my favorite. I think.

As the last balloon prepared to leave we headed to downtown to have breakfast at the same restaurant we ate at last year.

We picked up coffee on our way home. So much excitement and still most of the day ahead of us.

 Penny took a little nap as we drove back.
