Look who got up bright and early.........
The air is chilly on this Sunday, last day of the International Balloon Fiesta.
We're
dressed in layers
Sun block on our faces.
hand warmers in our pockets
breakfast burritos in our bellies

Upon Hamlets' descent, Hamlet's chase crew gave us the privilege to deflate Hammy.

Thank you pilots and chase crew for giving my girls great memories.
It truly was an honor.

| Hi Grandma-Great and Uncle Phil wish you were here..... |
 |
| Trying to deflate the balloon, while keeping it off the cement is not an easy job UNLESS you have many little helping hands. |
 |
| Sweetheart's tiny hands help well |
 |
| Fifi and Cookie hold the balloon off the ground |
 |
| Fifi and Miss Deja stuff the balloon in the bag to the pilot's delight. Cookie packs the balloon in by sitting on the bag. |
 |
| That's the enormous hot air balloon all bundled up for next time |
The "mini" crew and I had a great time chasing the big toys in the sky.
We had fun this year and we look forward to next years International Balloon Fiesta.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures......
