Today we went to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. We had to arrive at the park around 5:00 am, but it was totally worth it. The dawn patrol is a special group of Balloons that have permission to fly before day break. It was pretty awesome to see them light up the sky with their twinkling lights. It was really amazing to see hundreds of these colorful hot air balloons fill the morning sky. I have posted just a few of the many beautiful pictures we took. Riley and Kaitlyn especially enjoyed the specialty balloons. We saw a red cat, pink elephant, Darth Vader, Smoky the Bear, and a green monster,just to name of few. If your ever in Albuquerque it's an event you don't want to miss, Adam and I plan on trying to attend every year.

Some of your pictures are amazing! How cool to see that many in one place. I just heard on the news though, that a women was killed during the Fiesta. Crazy!
