Last weekend was a busy one around these parts!
I worked a fundraiser event all weekend with one of my 4-H leaders and her group.
It was a concession stand fundraiser for the local high school rodeo and we ran a full service kitchen for two days!
The leader fell and broke her leg on Saturday morning, so I became the lead person for the event!
Let's just say that I could now run a small Bistro or restaurant and do just fine!
I had wonderful volunteers that stepped up to help with all of the extra stuff and the 4-H kids were super troopers all weekend long!
I put in 27 hours of overtime in two days!
I felt like the "energizer bunny" for days!
Now I feel like a sloth!
Being the lead person in charge for the weekend also made me the lead runner for supplies!
Our business was so brisk that we kept selling out of items like they were going out of style!
Six trips to Walmart in one day will make you a crazy person!
The early morning shopping trips were the nicest.
Our town hosted a hot air balloon festival last weekend and they launched the balloons early in the morning.
I was able to take photos, both mornings, on those trips to Wally World!
(that's what we call it around these parts!)
The mornings were beautiful with wispy cloud filled, blue skies.
I added some boarder effects to make the photos pop a bit.
The balloons looked stunning against the blue sky!
It was so calm and quiet that you could hear the burners as the balloon pilots navigated the skies!
These shots make me think of the song, "Up Up and Away."
"Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon"
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon"
Have a wonderful weekend!

We call it Wally World too!
I love it when I see hot air balloons in the air. We get them a lot in Park City :)
Going to wallyworld that many times in one day you deserve to take a sloth day :) Nice balloon.
Eeek! Sounds like a crazy weekend! When you work all week, weekends are supposed to be for resting and recuperating. But not you! lol!
Must have been scary with the other leader breaking her leg at the event, too. How did that happen? I hope she is ok now?
The hot air balloon photos are stunning! Nicely done!
If you ever get the opportunity to come to New Mexico the first and second week of October, you will be amazed to see hundreds of hot air balloons fill the skies over Albuquerque every morning..and every evening, too!
This is a world famous event called The International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta and there are literally hot air balloons everywhere and from all over the world, and all shapes, colors and sizes, too!
