balloon rally

a town nearby has a hot air balloon rally every year, and it just happened to fall on von's birthday this year.  so the entire dynda/rumbaugh/steffy crew packed up and made the drive to view this event. it was pretty neat.  the wind played a factor, so there was some waiting involved and also not all of the balloons made it up, but the handful that we did see were just pretty beautiful.  bright colors and patterns soaring up up up into the air ... peaceful.
