Today was Fly-In. Keith and/or Debbie took these pictures since I was off flying "in" with Joanne. Seems fair, since it's Debbie's camera!

A Lindstrand hopper. Notice the nice man is cooperating for the camera today!

This is one of my favorite balloons, as far as designs and color patterns go

The Ingot from Venezuela... Errr somewhere in Asia, I can't remember which

I was busy flying with Joanne in the morning - nobody took pictures. Zoo Party in the afternoon. We got back to the hotel at sundown, and I took some pictures of the impressive western sky. Then it was off to the Shapes party for more hijinks and assorted fun.

That's Keith up top, Tom Deering at left, his wife Pat on the right, and myself down low playing human shield

Didn't do anything worthwhile in the morning (besides chase Joanne and manage to lose her trailer tailgate!) - but this is the only good picture from the Shapes Glow on Thursday night. I happen to be in the Bunny doing the "pilot" thing at the time.

It's Keygrab day! I was off flying with Joanne in the morning while Keith and/or Debbie took pictures again. Apparently all the prize poles were cleaned out well before we reached the field on this low, slow, variable, shifty morning. Somebody got lucky and drove off in a 2003 Ford Expedition. It wasn't me!

In the evening was a slightly gustier Shapes Glowdeo than the previous night. No Bunny, alas.

While Debbie was off taking pictures, Keith was off causing trouble (as usual).

Glo and her grandkids. I'm not a fan of cutesy pictures, but I'm OK with this one.
