Wow, where has this year gone?

So much to catch up on.  In January, Rich and I were finally able to take the hot air balloon ride I got us for our anniversary last year. We attempted to do it once before and we were cancelled for snow. Then we tried for a sunset ride and were cancelled for wind. On the third attempt we were finally able to set flight. It was a BITTERLY cold morning. I found myself doing jumping jacks and running around just to keep warm while the balloon was being blown up.
 
 
Not only were we taking flight, so were a couple of other balloons. You can see the flag balloon behind ours.
 
This is the view from the bottom of the basket while the balloon was inflating

WARMTH

Don't let that look fool you, Rich was having more fun than he wants anyone to know!

It was a great morning. We got to do our first ever "splash and dash" in the Rio Grande river. It was a lovely morning, despite the cold, and one that I will remember for a long time to come.
