So, last Saturday we woke up to a very strange noise--it sounded like air whooshing, like if you were blowing up a big air mattress. We sat in bed perplexed until Andrew took a peek out the window to find a GIANT hot air balloon floating just feet above the houses on our street. Not exactly what we would have guessed!The balloon proceeded to move down our street until it was about 3 feet above our roof! (see the pic above). Apparently the balloon was having issues because of wind and had gone adrift from their planned path. It landed on the street right beside our house and a huge crowd of people rushed forward to talk to the people (most of our neighborhood had emerged from their houses to watch the ruckus). After about ten minutes, they took off again! Talk about random. But it was hilarious and started of our Saturday quite nicely :)
