Balloon and Wine Weekend...

Wooohoooo what weekend I had! Oh my gosh! .... !!!
This weekend was the  annual Wine and Balloon Festival. This is a really big deal for our town and local favorites Kanan Road kicked things off.  As Kanan Road's Photog (how cool right, yes!) I had full access to  shooting them and back stage.  What nice, gracious and super talented guys they are, I had a great time and am looking forward to working up the photos.
(me and my fancy schmancy pass)
After shooting their set I met up with Monkey, my parents, friends and my best buddy Cheryl. It was bare feet, cold beer, delicious snacks and dancing in the field under the stars with Easton Corbin and Scotty McCreery. Oh my gosh, we had such a great time!  I cant wait for next year so we can do it all again.
This morning I was up and out the door at 5:30 making my way back to the festival. After hiking into the lake and finding the perfect spot I watched the sunrise which was beautiful. As it broke the mountain top the Balloons were beginning to launch. At one time I counted 22 balloons in the air, it was amazing!

I also launched Jen Sale Photography.com, it's a work in progress but I am very proud of myself for how much this computer challenged mama has been able to accomplish in a short time.

Of course there was Chancie time and play time for the chicks who are growing so fast and the big girls.  There were brown dog car rides too. He loves the new car since he can jump in and out on his own.
