It IS the largest balloon festival in the world, with 550 Ballons this year!

Wow...that's better than I had imagined Sparky. Blue skies and the different theme-shapes (I never would have guessed that they did those). Thanks for sharing the pics; it put a huge smile on my face.

So glad that you had a good time.

With love, Erika

We left at 1145pm Saturday night (10/6) and got to Las Vegas NM about 530pm. I drove the whole way. Too excited to get sleepy. If anyone ever finds themself(?) in Las Vegas NM, stop at the Super8. It's a 4 star Super8. didn't know such a thing existed. We were planning to find a restaurant for dinner but the hotel offered FREE dinner as well as FREE breakfast. Dinner was soup and salad but just enough for us!

There were 3 bees, Doydie. They were attached at the hand in some way but would separate. They never did all 3 take off together but one time one took off and the other 2 stayed hooked together for a good while. Like holding hands. I never could get a pic of their front.
