Balloons Over Benton County

Nothing brings out the Benton County folks like
Hot Air Balloons landing on your road!!

Okay, we get a LOT of balloons going over,

Landing is another story!

Bill even 'let' me stop mowing on Sunday evening to head
over to the neighbors and have a chat.

We were soon joined by Julie, the "Benton County Reporter" and her little Bode.
He's taking 'charge', just in case we can't see what's going on!

They are down!
Right by the power lines.
YIKES!!!

Let the crowds begin!!
Someday I'd like to go up in one.
I think I like the bright yellow/orange and red one best!

The boys, Bode and Caleb are 3 and Casey is 2,
(he's the butt shot and doesn't care! G)
weren't all that interested once the balloons were down.
It's so funny how much a bunch of gravel is!
I just don't understand why people spend all that money on toys!!! G
