Sunday Selfies And Lots Of Post Independence Day Fun
Oh, it was a hot one folks! We cooked (and we do not mean using the grill...), outside...well, I Pipo was inside in the AC, Phew! But the peeps did not even go to all the airshow/balloon things over the holiday time because it was simply to dang hot. And humid. They did go a wee bit on some of the days, but then on the Fourth, they went for a longer time, it was a wee tiny bit cooler. Like down from 95F to about 92F. Hah! (The heat index was between 100 & 105...ugh.)
Now when petcretary;s vacation is over and she is back at work this weekend, the weather is perfect! Warm, a bit breezy and no humidity. Go figure!
Anyways, Dalton was semi willing to make some nice pictures...but Pipo was not interested at all, so he will show off himself from last year, MOL! (Petcretary: It was too hot to do much picture taking...lame excuse, MOL!)
First we will show some of the things that happened at the 2018 Field of Flight/Balloon Festival.
Airplanes and jets!
A10 with a MustangTF51D in a Heritage Flight
The Redliners
Canadian Harvard Acrobatic Team
Harvards are trainers from WW11
Hey, How did those Redliners get in here??
Osprey
F18 Hornet
Balloons galore!
Those balloons you saw were doing what is called 'The Balloon Illume'. We did not see any regular flying balloons this year as we were not in the vicinity of the launches,and we were not at the airfield when there were 'fly-ins', on account of the heat.
The sunsets we saw were amazing:
There were some planets we could see before the stars 'came out'...however we are not sure which ones they were, MOL/BOL!
And yes there were fireworks, too...from airplanes:
There were the 'real' fireworks, too. Spectacular and loud of course!
Here is a video of them...
This is not a 'professional video', there is much background noise, and sometimes its out of focus, but it still is fun to watch. (14minutes if you have the time.)

And now its time for us!! Remember, Pipo's are recycles/backflashes, MOL!
We are playing catch up on the selfies as was WAY too hot here yesterday, and we fell asleep around 6pm and woke late at night. We love your selfies Dalton, and yours, Pipo. Looks like you had a great day too, and all those planes and balloons look great fun. I prefer the natural displays though and love the sunset pictures and clouds.... Toodle pips and purrs ERin

Sorry I am so late. You both look so cute and patriotic for the 4th! These photos are amazing!! That looks like an incredible day. Those pilots do amazing stunts and are so coordinated. XO
