Got there just in time for the first wave, then got to see them inflating & launching the 2nd wave. Very cool!

Sorry about the size - I'll try to re-size some of them later.

First Wave That is Pikes Peak in the background.

Fire!

My kids They weren't happy about getting up this early, but had a good time once we got there!

Very cool envelope

Sky full of balloons

From the inside out

Some more launching

Cool shadow pic

We may go to the balloon glow tonight, so maybe some more pics later!
 
Bump for more reasonable file sizes.
We did go to the "Balloon Glow" sunday night, but ti was to windy and they had to take the envelopes down. They were still firing the burners, which was pretty impressive - a field full of roaring 6' to 8' torches! Saw alot of propane burnt that night - Hank Hill would've wet himself 😛
