Saturday morning, after lift off, we discovered we had a flamingo hatchling!

Although Saturday evenings Balloon Spectacle was canceled, it in no way took away from a fabulous day!

Sunday morning there was a one hour delay. 
Once the rain and clouds were clearing off the Balloons went up
The weather made the display even more surreal!
