Hot Air Balloon

Haha, okay, so I didn't get to go down to Austin, but it's 100% sure that it's happening another weekend. But yeah, when I was still here around Plano, I was driving home and I looked up and saw all these hot air balloons right above me. They were really low, I could almost see the people in the little brown basket. They're so incredible! One of my favorite things is hot air balloons. They come in so many different shapes and sizes. From what I can remember, I saw a Remax balloon and a red one. I don't remember what the other ones looked like. I am sure they had some sort of pattern, most do. Or a theme. My best friend and I were talking about how they make them in different shapes, too, and we were wondering how they do that. All this talk about hot air balloons reminds me of a morning about 5 or 6 years ago, at least, at a breakfast that takes place every year in the backyard of a friend's. It's a large gathering that always takes place the weekend of the balloon fest. Every year new additions are added to the party. The house that it takes place at is a very large, beautiful estate with a vast backyard with a pool, volleyball court, and a stretching field. Some years, we're lucky enough to see hot air balloons lift off from that field, or close by. That breakfast 5 or 6 years ago, that happened. As a little kid, I was ecstatic to see a real hot air balloon right in front of me. The people setting it up for take off were nice enough to get closer as the balloon was being filled with helium. It was GIGANTIC inside! I had never seen anything like it! I was so enthralled at that young age. Since then, I've had such a fascination of them. When I think back at that experience, I feel so nostalgic and a sense of wanting to relive it. Maybe someday I'll get a ride in one and experience it for real.
