August 9, 2015-Sunday- On last night's news they had a segment on Seniors checking off a "have to do" on their bucket list. It was a HOT AIR BALLOON RIDE!!! Funny cause when I turned 60, a Hot Air balloon Ride was the ONLY thing I wanted for my birthday & didn't get it!!!! I wonder if I should try again this November for my 65th birthday!?! In the news segment, they showed 4 seniors going up in the balloon. The youngest was a man 72, the oldest was a 97 year old lady!!! Her daughter was a spectator & was sooooooo excited for her mother!!! I think I would still like to feel that sensation!
This morning as Lennie was returning from his walk & I was about to begin mine.....! he called me to come out of the RV real quick with my camera???? I knew it was too late for sunrise, I wondered what he saw that was camera-worthy???
OOOOH!!! "MY" Hot Air Balloon off in the distance!?!
Then I saw there was more than one balloon!
I started on my walk. This was going to be easy! There are at least 4-5 fishing ponds in here at St Vrain's State Park, & each pond has a walking path around it. Last night Lennie & I rodes our bikes around the fishing ponds & today I figure I will walk the same path!
After I took this picture....somehow I turned off the path & found myself in a parking lot, then on a road & then by a residence??? I knew this wasn't part of the park & I knew I was LOST??? I turned around to retrace my steps. I remembered from the bike ride, I had to be on a path only, no road or parking lot. Now I see a Park Ranger...do I tell him I'm lost & ask him how to get back to the park???? HECK NOOOOO!!! I made it back to the path I had turned off & soon I see our RV & I relax!!! I won't make that mistake again!!!
It's quite warm today, we're going to leave Otis by himself to suffer in the comforts of the RV's A/C while we go walk around the Mile High Flea Market!!! Funny Otis didn't act like he wanted to go with us. Sometimes I think he's smarter than we are!?!
This is probably the biggest Flea Market I've ever seen, 80 acres!!!! It was like a little city!
I'll have to admit it was almost too warm to walk around looking at "FLEAS"!!! There were no inside A/C shops???? This Fleas market would be more fun when the temps drop a little. All that stuff & we didn't buy anything!!!
Otis was the only one who got a treat today, & he wasn't even suffering in the heat! Sometimes I wish I was Otis!!!
I did CATCH this little boy who so proudly held his catch, he caught a FROG using a FROG LURE!?!
All in all, it was a good day with a beautiful ending!
I do like that shade thing over the picnic table. And I like Lennie's fishing post, but the pond looks alittle weedy. I'd be losing all my gear LOL. Very pretty rainbow and sunsets.
