for years – we’ve seen these beautiful, colorful hot air balloons floating through the sky. we see them out our windows, as we drive on the streets, and from the beach. we love them – they just look so peaceful and magical up in the sky. we finally “caught” them launching which is something i’ve been wanting to do for a while. it was SO neat! we’re going to do it again. and again. and again. next time – we’ll bring a big blanket and maybe dinner. i’d love it to be a memory for gavin – remembering sitting in the warm sun having a picnic watching the hot air balloons fill up and float off into the sky. 
we called our friend sam to come when we realized we had “caught” them – they made it just in time to see the 2nd and 3rd balloons. local friends – let me know if you ever want to do this with us!!
hot air balloons
you know we’ll be joining you a time or two!!
Spectacular! Relaxing in an oversized way:)
One of these times…
wow! that is something most of us would never see…and you caught them doing it. so cool and perfectly gorgeous photos!
hot air balloons are so magical to me, too. when we were first dating kyle wrote me a simple little song, and the first line was: “i wanna take you away in a hot air balloon…” later we performed this song together (with Kyle on harmonica and me singing and playing guitar) at a few small shows I played when we were first married. needless to say hot air balloons have become a symbol of our sweet beginnings as a couple… the blissful joy and wonder of falling in love and always wanting to be with that other person. thank you for sharing these beautiful photos, stacy!
p.s. of course we wish we could join you! (i think my boys would absolutely love meeting and playing with your sweet gavin!–someday!)
