Well, here's our account:We left early this morning to head to Anderson. We actually stopped along the way to buy a parking coupon at BiLo, but their customer service center wasn't open yet. That ended up being a blessing, b/c in the end we didn't need one. Upon our arrival, we were told by an Anderson policeman that the day at FWA hadn't really begun yet, even though we could see the hot air balloons all around coming in for a landing. (There wasn't a race last night. The balloon we saw had just flewn a few miles this morning. We think perhaps the point was just for all the balloons to paint a pretty picture in the sky. --They succeeded!) In the course of driving around trying to find somewhere to watch them land, we bumped into the crew for the hot air balloon you see in the pictures, and they invited us to follow them to watch their balloon land. They gave us a very up-close and personal experience. They even let the kids walk through the not-yet-deflated hot air balloon.

What a neat experience! Enjoyed seeing the pix!
No ... I accidently clicked on "Save as Draft" instead of "Publish Post". Got it figured out, though. And since it was already uploaded to the server, when I published it, it put it before M & D's post, b/c mine had been uploaded earlier in the day.
It was a neat experience, Aunt Jennie. We had never been INSIDE a hot air balloon before!
