On the Porch

Day 11, September 17, 2017
After our adventure at Night Glow, I wasn’t excited about arising early on Sunday but a balloon ascent was planned to take place at the Wyndham resort where we were staying. I needed coffee!!
We weren’t 100 percent sure where the ascent was to take place so we drove around until we spotted the field where the balloonists were setting up.
Rain was in the forecast but several of the balloons took a chance and arose into the sky.
This balloon crew were planning to ascend but the balloonist’s young daughter begged her father to change his mind. She claimed to be able to feel the lightning in the atmosphere. After what appeared to be talking back and forth between the crew, the decision was made to not make the ascent. It was the correct decision as clouds rapidly built.
We returned to our truck and Rebekah drove as we followed the flights of the balloons that were descending.
Feeling damp and cold we headed back to the condo for a cup of hot cocoa.
Pam caught up with Facebook, sharing photos and catching up on texts.
Rebekah took advantage of the light and captured a great picture of our view.
Hubby had declared the day, a day of rest (It was Sunday, after all) So the girls piled into the truck and Rebekah drove us around to check out the town and have a girlie lunch at The Rose, one of the local restaurants.
I apologize for the time in between my posts. Life moves faster than I can type!
Thanks for stopping by. I was hoping you would. Colorado is a beautiful state.
