WHAT’S THAT DOG BARKING AT NOW?! Oh — it’s just some tourists dropping by to check out our Napa neighborhood. : )


The crew with a rope tethered to the ballon helping to guide the balloon to a safe landing.

Pushing balloon down the street to give it more room to deflate.

The pilot and crew did a fantastic job safely landing the ballon and packing up.

To give you a sense of scale, this is a view from our driveway of the horizontal balloon which is blocking the view of two houses. As it flattened, it became even longer.

The crew work to flatten and tie the ballon with all the neighborhood kids and their parents watching.






Thanks for dropping by Balloons Above the Valley.
