Three Hot Air Balloons In One Night

While walking in our neighborhood tonight, Jay saw a hot air balloon that looked like it was going to land. Since Chase loves party balloons and had never seen a hot air balloon, we quickly got in our car and headed about a mile away where it landed in a field near the Quakertown turnpike.
About 50 people; including Chase and Amy helped hold the hot air balloon while the crew packed it up.

We were about to leave when we looked up and saw a blue hot air balloon flying overhead. We decided that since it was still early, we would follow the balloon and maybe get to see it land. We were right as it landed about a quarter mile away in the parking lot of Molasses Creek Park.

The pilot was very friendly and even let Chase sit on the basket.

It was getting late and we were ready to leave for home when Jay looked in the rear view mirror and said, “How about one more hot air balloon?” Sure enough, a Remax balloon was getting ready to land near the turnpike. We followed the balloon to where it landed and again, this pilot was very, very friendly. They also allowed us to get close to the balloon as they were packing it up.

Since they landed in a secluded area and the chase van could not find them, the pilot asked Jay to help pack up the balloon. He loves hot air balloons so he excitedly agreed. Check out the video.

On the way home, we were all full of smiles as a night of no plans turned into something very special!
