Why We Were Late For School This Morning.....

.....only in Napa Valley can you use the excuse 'a Hot Air Balloon landed in our front yard'! Dave came down the hall telling everyone to come outside. Partially dressed, I asked him if I should get dressed....like will they be able to see me....I asked. He told me NO hurrying us to the door. I opened the door to this.......

ummmm....Hello.

I think I'll go get dressed!

The balloon is just getting ready to land.

This is a second balloon that was almost in our backyard! The winds must have been directing all the balloons to our nice big court.

This was when I realized that my car wasn't going anywhere too fast.

Coming down.

These two guys worked so hard squeezing all the air out.

Still wrangling the balloon.

Almost there.

All loaded up.

What a beautiful way to start our week.
