Big Balls in the Sky

Silas woke me up Sunday morning about 7am and we looked out the window to see a couple dozen hot air balloons floating over our house. I rushed outside with the camera, plopped Silas in the stroller, and we took a walk around the neighborhood to watch as many of the balloons landed in the fields nearby. One went right over our heads, maybe 30 to 50 feet off the ground, and the occupants waved and said hi. Silas was amazed.




When it was all over Silas kept asking for "more ball" as we walked home ("more" is one of his favorite signs to use - he's also pretty good with the sign for "please").
