Adventure on a Thursday Morning

On the way home, from dropping the boys off at school, a brightly colored object caught my eye. I went to investigate and to my astonishment it was a hot air balloon!! The balloon had to make an emergency landing in the cul-de-sac. Unfortunately park of the balloon got snagged on a lamppost! I took Jenny & Madden to see it, and we asked them if they could use a ladder. So my friend and I took over the ladder, and watched, between my fingers, as the man climbed to the highest rung and freed the balloon. They thanked us profusely and gave us a bottle of champagne! What a crazy morning! Adventures are around ever corner!! I can't believe that I didn't grab my camera!

Was it the Mexican Air Force invading the "P"ville?
Maybe it was a Cuban "spy' balloon.
Oh...just dudes lost? Well, hey I never had a balloon...of any kind...land in my neighborhood.
Thanks for sharing.

We love you dudes & chicks.

See you next month.
Dad

I actually thought the Russians were invading. Before heading to the hills, I rushed to the house to gather my weapons, food, and peeps. WOLVERINES FOREVER!!!!
