Balloon Landing


























This morning at around 6.30 am the hot air balloons were drifting across the skyline, as they often do around this time. They were low and we could hear the hot air being blown up into the balloon. Sometimes they are so low as they go over we can hear them talking. We picked up Henry who was fascinated for all of about 2 minutes. As we watched however they all decided to land. Probably due to lack of windpower. It's a very still and slightly overcast morning. The white one landed in the park area just a few streets away from us. We threw Henry in the car (not literally) and headed down to take a look. There were a few onlookers with their children but it was hard to get close as they were on the other side of the creek. Still, it was a exciting start to the morning.
