Colorado Balloon Classic 2012

Of the many awesome events in Colorado every year, one of my favorites will always be the Colorado Balloon Classic. It's just one more reason to love the state - hundreds of crazy enthusiasts get up at ridiculous hours to fly hot air balloon en masse from a field, dipping over a lake, into the beautiful Colorado sky at the beginning of September.
