hot air balloons and a wildfire

I woke up early this morning and went to a hot air balloon festival. It was really amazing.

They had a big race, and contests where they dropped beanbags and popped giant floating balloons. Just watching them is really cool.

It was a perfect way to start this holiday that I love so much. Thank you to all who fight for this country in one way or another.



P.S. This is where my family lives.

There's a huge fire. Our neighbors have been evacuated, but so far our family's house is in a green zone.


I'm sure everything will be fine. The great thing is that people matter, not things. As long as the whole family is okay {which we are}, it doesn't matter what the fire does to our neighborhood and home. But still, if you're the praying kind like me, that area could sure use a spare prayer or two today.


Thanks. Happy fourth :)
