Off to the Balloon Races

Saturday was a perfect day. I had to work that morning so Thad and Michael played some tennis followed by us meeting up at Michael's pool. We enjoyed the sun and worked on ours tans or pre-mature aging, whatever you want to call it. There were several guys in the pool who talked Thad and Michael into playing some pool volleyball with them. After about 45 minutes, Thad realized that his wedding band had fallen off. Upon announcing this discovery about twelve people, some with goggles, were in the pool searching the bottom, searching the drains, searching the grassy area but to no avail.......it was no where to be found.

The good news is, the day perked back up. We went in our swimsuits to Mexican food which is always a joyous occasion because Thad knows I am always in the mood for la comida mexicana. That evening we had planned to go to the Balloon Races that Neighbor Becky had invited us to. So Becky, Michael, Thad and I went out to the Tuscaloosa Airport to the Air Balloon Races. We were unsure as to what to expect but once there we were awestruck by the sights of these huge air balloons all being blown up at the same time and all taking off one right after the other. I kept snapping picture after picture, loving the colors and the designs of the balloons. And to add to the beauty it was a gorgeous day with clear blue skies. So thanks Becky for inviting us, we loved it!
