I was surprised when one balloon splashed into the lake. I didn’t see any chase crew, but a dog from the next lake over decided to chase the balloons and got lost during his pursuit, ending up at my neighbor’s house.

We used to have many sightings here until the land filled with new homes.

The chase crews are interesting too. They look small in the sky, but up close they are huge.

Gondolas looks so unsafe to be hanging over, but many enjoy the sights.

Our dogs bark continuously at the sound. Thanks for sharing. What a wonderful way to

start a day. mj
