2011 Balloon Rally

The Great Prosser Balloon Rally. It's great. Really! We love this weekend; it is an annual affair hosted by our charming, little town the last full weekend of September. We have also decided to add to the affair and each year I make a HUGE batch of super, dooper delicious Pioneer Woman's cinnamon rolls.
Last year, we were invited to our friend Nancy's house to watch the balloons take off early in the morning. Her house is right on the river and the balloons are so close you could touch them. LindyJean is stoked!

... touching down on the river...

This fella landed his balloon in Nancy's front yard and then proceeded to give all the kids who were in attendance (and willing) a bit of a ride. Adelaide was excited and then completely terrified by the decibel level of the propane blower.
The POW/MIA balloon readying for take off.

Oh, so there were balloons in Prosser . . . I would never believe it if it weren't for your photographic evidence as I've seen no proof personally!
