Dawn Patrol

Over this past weekend I meet up with some old friends of mine that I have known since elementary school. I was just like old times with all of us laughing and joking around. We didn't want the fun to stop on Saturday so we made more plans for Sunday to go to the glow show at the balloon races and stay for the dawn patrol that came after. At 4:30 when my alarm went off I wasn't my usual zombie like self that I would normally be for waking up at this time, I had great energy and was ready to go meet up with my friends. I got to one of their houses that we planed to meet at and we all climbed into the van and were off. Once we got there we saw that we weren't the only ones who decided to go. It seemed like hundreds of people had decided to come and see the show as well. It was great time with us all together again, taking pictures, making memories and being in sync with everyone else as we counted down three, two, one, glow. It was a great weekend with all of my old friends and I was happy that everyone could make the time to come and catch up. As we waited for dawn patrol to start we all sat on blankets and and made jokes. Some of use tried to get a little bit more rest while we waited and others just tried to stay warm. Once the sun came over the mountains it produced a warm glow from it and it also signaled that it was time for the balloons to rise. There were dozens of balloons that rose up into the air and it was amazing to see them. It was a wonderful weekend that I shall never forget.
