Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - Night Glow - October 8th

The balloon crew returned to the fields late afternoon for a chance to meet with pilots and enjoy the weather.

Families were playing in the balloon field. Kites were floating above.

Search & Rescue riders were horsing around.

And then the crowds starting pouring in for the evening's events.

Mommy called Auntie Koena telling her about how wonderful the Balloon Fiesta was.
Uncle Ralph & Auntie Koena used to live in Albuquerque & volunteered at the Balloon Fiesta.

Airabelle is smiling as she awakens from her afternoon nap.

The fields start coming alive in waves of color.

The crowd is encouraged to walk among the balloons.

This balloon is Sea Fantasy from Wausau, WI.

The bees are still sleeping, but it looks like they'll be up soon.

As the last remants of light shines through the clouds, anticipation fills the air.

Oo-o-o, Ah-h-h-h . . . WOW.   Humpty Dumpty is still in one piece!
Humpty Dumpty is from Louisville, KY,

The bird with the cheeky grin is Retro Bird - he just flew in from Atlanta, GA.

"Got Milk?"

Jannik was able to meet up with Lena again.

Lena saw this fella clowning around with the soccer ball . . .

. . . so Lena challenged him to a game!

This Intel is on the outside!

Then the fireworks started . . .


Magnificient!
