A balloon day

This weekend was the annual Balloons over Wairarapa festival. Marcus has really been into seeing photos of hot air balloons, so I took the day off work and we went to Carterton to see the "Mass Ascension" at dawn. This meant Shelley and I getting up at 4.30, so we could be out of the house at 5.45. It was well worth it. We all had a ball and Marcus really enjoyed himself.
