So if you didn't know, October in New Mexico brings the Balloon Fiesta. I believe that this is the largest balloon festival in the world. This year there were over 600 hot air balloons that came from all over the world to fly. I thought that a bunch of balloons wouldn't be that exciting, but you can go down on the field and walk right among all of them as they inflate and take off.
This year we made it to the field for the special shapes assention, and the special shapes glow that evening. The special shapes are any balloon that is not your typical shape - we saw a pepsi can, a castle, a stork, monsters,... you name it it was there. Here are a few pics from the field.

The two bees kissed in the air 
"Twist of Fate" Owned and Flown by one of my co-workers. This is them flying during a competition where they had to drop a bean bag on a small target.... Doesn't sound to hard till you realize that you can't steer to the target. Takes alot of skill and knowing the wind currents!!
These are from the nightly glow and fireworks....
