Jakesprinter has a Sunday post, this week it is Morning.
I woke up at 5:15 this morning. The Reno hot air ballon races were today. We got tickets for parking, so we were going to go. I didn’t want to get out of bed. The balloons are supposed to launch at 6:30. They also have a glow show, where the balloons air up in the dark. I didn’t want to be there that early. We got there about 6:15. It was very crowded. You walk out into a field and wait. They air up two balloons and launch them with flags. Then airplanes fly over while they play the national anthom.
Then we waited some more. The balloons didn’t launch. The guy spoke over the loud speakers. “The race has been called off. The wind is too strong, so there will be no balloon race today.” So it was over before it even started. We drove home. That my my Sunday morning.

Well you had to go. You didn’t know the wind would be too strong. The photos you did get are nice ones, give a feel for the scene.

These are great. I love the balloon races. We went to them years ago in New Mexico. It is so different in person. The colorful varieties of balloons is amazing. I imagine now they must be extremely crowded. Thanks for the memory.

I would love to see the New Mexico one. I went last year and saw the balloons go up in the air.

That was disappointing, Connie. We also wanted to go up in a hot air balloon whilst my son and granddaughter were visiting us, but it was always too windy. Lovely pics. 🙂

Great photos. I’ve never heard of balloon races and I hope the next one you try to witness isn’t cancelled.

Aww, shame! I’d love to go to something like this, or even better to ride in one.
