Hot Air Balloon


Hot Air Ballooning is a popular hobby here in McKinney. Almost every weekend hot air balloons appear in the sky around our neighborhood. One of the first weekends that we lived here the sky was completely full of hot air balloons. It must have been a hot air balloon festival! There were probably 20 balloons.

Nevertheless, Saturday morning, I went for a walk and saw three balloons in the air. So, Sunday, when I took Maggie for her morning walk, I took my camera. I only saw one balloon on Sunday. The first picture shows the balloon rising in the distance. In the second picture I am standing almost directly under the balloon. Like I said, it is really neat because they fly right over our neighborhood. In the last picture, the balloon is flying off in the distance.

Maggie has never noticed the balloons before. (Probably because they are not in her line of vision, which is one foot off the ground!) She saw me taking the picture of the balloon and she did not like it! I guess because they get so close and they are so big. She kept looking back to make sure the balloon was not following us. It was funny but I did not like her being scared.
