NEW CASINO

We made a trip over to the new casino today.  It was a nice day for a boat ride.  The casino is nothing to write home about.  They have pretty much all of the new fancy and expensive slot machines and they were hungry as usual.  We only stayed about an hour.  I did get lucky and won a little on one machine.  It was a good time, not sure if or when we might go back.  You now have to pay to ride the boat.  It was free with a coupon that was in the paper each week in the past.  Guess they have to pay for the new building and marina.  Got some pictures of the boat and marina.

This is an extra boat they have to use if the main one breaks down.

BALLOONS

This weekend was the annual balloon festival here in Lake Havasu City.  It started this past Thursday and ends today.  They had a lot of wind the first couple days and couldn't fly the balloons.  They managed to get some up Saturday morning and got them all up and going today.  No wind and lots of sunshine today. Lots of pictures and have a series on one balloon that was being readied in the parking lot of the place where we eat breakfast.  It was interesting watching them get it ready and taking it off.

This is one of the ones that got up Saturday.  I took this picture from our kitchen window.

Same one as above, just closer.

Last Saturday balloon.

This was taken from the parking lot where we eat breakfast.  They were taking off from an area about a block away.

A mushroom balloon.  Didn't get it real clear.

This is the one being readied in the parking lot.

Got it up off the ground.

Getting ready to take off, everybody on board for the trip.

Up and away.

Another group shot.

Not sure what this one was suppose to be.

That's not a balloon.  We had a full moon a couple nights ago.
