Hot Air Balloons Attack

We live near the airport in Tracy and on weekends, hot air balloons take off and land there. It's pretty neat to wake up in the morning and look up at these huge balloons making their way through the sky. This morning, the wind apparently wasn't cooperating and two balloons ended up landed in empty fields near our house instead of the airport. The vicinity to our residences brought several neighbors out to their front yards to watch the descent. I'm sure the pilots knew what they were doing and weren't as close to the houses at it appeared, but it made for good neighborly chat. Here's a couple of pictures:
