I’m writing these two Posts on Friday evening the 19th. You will be reading them Saturday the 20th.<\/p>\n

Then again, today’s newspaper is all about yesterday, not all about events today that have not yet transpired.<\/p>\n

So first I will leap ahead from Friday evening to tomorrow.<\/p>\n

Saturday the 20th of January 2024.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Today Patti and I will be up and out of our apartment around 7:30am because I have a volunteer commitment to assist with the 5K walking \/ 10K jogging event. Along with other Havasu Balloon Fest volunteers, we will provide water at the 1\/2 way point of the 5K walking \/ 10K running event. It will wrap up \/ conclude around 10am. Then Patti and I will check out what is going on at the overall Balloon Fest.<\/p>\n

Then we plan to watch two NFL Football Playoff games. The Houston Texans play the Baltimore Ravens at (our time) 2:30pm. The Green Bay Packers will play the San Francisco 49ers at 6:15pm (our time).\u00a0<\/p>\n

Now we will wait and see what really happens tomorrow on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Do you want to make God laugh? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Tell God your plans!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Friday the 19th of January 2024.<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Today I was up and out at 8am to watch the 8:15am Balloon Mass Ascension. Then at 4:15pm we two watched the afternoon Balloon Mass Ascension.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

A few photos.<\/p>\n

Yesterday I showed several photos that I snapped Thursday of the KOA Hot Air Balloon.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Friday we saw it go up, up, up and away into flight.<\/p>\n

There’s the KOA Balloon in the far distance on the right side of the below photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

So I immediately repositioned myself to get some clear photos of it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

And off into the distance it floated, carried by a very gentle 2 mph wind.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wait Captain!<\/span> Come back to the above and below photo.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What on earth is all of that “stuff”<\/em><\/span> in the above photo?<\/p>\n

Oh Friends!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The Havasu Balloon Festival and Fair<\/em> <\/span>is a lot more than a few Hot Air Balloons flying away up into the sky.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A closer look at some of the other Balloon Fest Activities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vendors “As Far As The Eye Can See”!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Thrills for the children.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Wow !! “They Were Flying Down Fast”! I’ve never ever seen this before!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Gentle Fun Ride.<\/p>\n
