After adding a little more than 3 G's into the economy, me and my three kids headed west in our newly re-transmissioned Trailblazer. Our destination -- Indianola, Iowa, AKA - Grandma and Grandpa's. Our goals: Put up a new fence row, watch some hot air balloons, visit a zoo, a try to hit a swimming pool.
After a couple of hours putting up the fence (I'll post a picture or two from that tomorrow), we were rewarded with two fantastic Indianola experiences -- a cornduster show and the launch of three balloons.
The cornduster happened to hit our property! The plane was only 25 feet from our vantage point. We watched the plane strafe the armies of corn from our front yard. It was amazing to watch the plane fly by about 10 feet off the ground.
Moments later the hotair balloons started arriving. Three balloons launched from our yard minutes after the cornduster flew away. Jacob, Sam, Lilia collected some souveniers and stood amazed at the larger-than life balloons filled with propane-heated air lifted into the Iowa sky above us.
