Hot Air Balloon

While we were eating dinner tonight one of my boys looked out the window and said "ball?" almost like he wasnt quite sure what he was looking at. Then he said "balloon?". The blinds were half way pulled down over the windows, so I had to tilt my head over to look under the blinds to see what was confusing my little one. Since my son is shorter that me in his highchair he could see it fine. When I looked I was shocked to see this huge Hot Air Balloon right infront of our house. So I grabbed the kids out of their high chairs and we ran out to the front porch. Just as we did this Hot Air Balloon was coming right towards us. It was so low to the ground that I really wondered if it was going to hit the powerlines and trees in our front yard and then land on our roof. I was almost starting to wonder if I needed to take cover with the kids it was so low! The triplets loved it until the sound of the fuel tank firing up started. They had to give it a few blasts to get up and over the powerlines, trees and our roof. Seriously, it was so low we could talk to the people in the Balloon. Once they passed over the house and didnt land on our roof, I took the now terrified children back inside. (However, they bounced back pretty quickly and couldnt stop talking about the Balloon.) I put them back into their highchairs and then ran to get my camera to catch this picture. They apparetly gained their height back by the time I got a back outside to catch this picture. I wish I would of had my camera when it was passing over the house, but I didnt really think of it nor did I have a free hand at the time.
