We returned to Wakefield for the 6th Annual Wakefield Hot Air Balloon Festival.

On Saturday morning, we flew our host's son and daughter-in-law, Kevin and Stephanie.

Readying for lift off from the Wakefield school grounds.

Just a little more heat...

...and away we go.

Very little of the corn and soybeans had been harvested, as it has been a very wet fall.

We touched down on this road and deflated in the alfalfa. Lyle, the landowner joined us for our celebration.

Stephanie is all smiles, having overcome (mostly) her fear of heights.

A group photo and more fond memories of Wakefield, our favorite rally each year, thanks to Louie and Faye.
