chasing balloons + mighty adventure-ers :)

today was not a typical day.I usually go to work first thing after dropping off the kids at school.not today.today was a stay at home day with a little girl with a fever + cough.today was a to-do day around the house.today was a go to work late day.today was a fortunate day. :)coming home from work in the early evening, I saw what a lot of gilbert-onians saw...four beautiful colorful hot air balloons that lit up the ominous sky.  I would never have seen this had I gone about my day normally.  I was coming home because matt had a meeting to go to so I called home and told him to bundle the boy and the girl up because we were going on an adventure...balloon chasing :)they said they felt like adventure-ers.like indiana jones chasing after a treasure.we stop to catch a first look and decide if we're going to keep chasing....pbsh, of course we do! :)

going RIGHT UNDER! crazy cool...you should have heard them shouting "I can EVEN see the fire, mommy!"
the clouds cleared for just a little bit...SO beautiful! :)
the balloons landed at this point of the adventure and we were in a ginormous field by about twenty horses...this one, was SUPER curious about us and trotted over to say hello...we hung out with him for about a half hour...and maddie kept saying that she wanted to be a "vet adventure-er" :)
the mighty adventure-ers...and micah shouted to me...
"mom, LOOK!  It's GOD rays!  heaven is GLOWING!"
and he was right.  it was.
it was a great adventure. :)
