One of the perks involved in living close to grandkids is that we have the privilege of helping out from time to time. Since Cameron couldn't go on the hot air balloon ride, Grandma and Grandpa went along to watch and tend.
The day was absolutely gorgeous. The owner of the balloon company was such a colorful character, and we knew it from the moment he emerged from his house--very mellow and relaxed. He put everyone to work getting the balloon ready.
Russ let me drive the fancy BMW convertible the half block to the launching site--once I got it out of 3rd gear, it was great... Thank goodness the convertible was still there when we returned--I'd left the keys in the ignition.
Cameron thinks he's cool in sunglasses--and he would be right!
Fern taking it all in--that balloon is huge!!
How many people does it take to get a hot air balloon launched? --if Russ would only help a little...
The balloon against the sun rising over the mountains was awesome.
Yep, landed right in a cul de sac (see Carrie's blog for details).

I know what you mean about having grandkids close. I keep Ronan on Mondays and this Saturday, Grandpa and I are taking him to the zoo and then keeping him for the night. Our first sleepover! :)
