250/365


Today we took a ride to Greenfield. On the way home, in Hatfield, we spotted a hot air balloon. It was about 6:30 or 7:00 p.m. so we thought that it was going to land pretty soon before it got dark. It came down low and went back up a couple of times, and Paul figured they were looking for a place to land. We tried to follow it and we actually got to see it land. It was quite impressive. It hovered over a business's backyard and then they threw out a long blue rope, and someone from the chase truck pulled it in. It stayed up in the yard for quite awhile, and then eventually they pulled the balloon out to the front parking lot and let the air out. It was really something to see. This was so interesting I just had to add the slideshow below!

They must have had second thoughts about leaving Emerald City!
