MAGICAL: ALBUQUERQUE BALLOON FIESTA (WITH TIMELAPSE)

[@lockedin60]

Your home base is in the West. I live in the East. All I have know is the Great Smoky Mountains, Our falls are quite majestic with the bountiful rich colors of the leaves. However as I watch and rid along with your fellow youtube channel providers I can see a lot of beauty in the reddish brown hills and mountains that dot the west. It is us who have to find the beauty in all of our experiences.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Have you seen our Smokey Mt Video? We loved it. Chimney Top hike is one of our faves, but we sure do love the west. Big sky and purple mountains at sunset.

[@andersonsoutdoors4873]

Once again, great job with this one! It's close to our heart and close to home. Glad your daughter got to do a mission trip too! Those sorts of things are so valuable. CU on the highway......................................AO

[@margaretmallonee614]

I am 67 years old. I have always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. Thanks for the ride.. Love you guys!!

[@jaydog9508]

So proud of Tori, mission work is wonderful. The balloon festival was very colorful and peaceful, loved your Dick Clark segment.

[@dianayates6446]

Amazing footage!! Me & my daughter live in Albuquerque and for the first time in the 12yrs we’ve been here... we finally went out for Dawn Patrol this year. Amazing amazing amazing! You did a great job capturing the many wonders of the Fiesta 👍

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That Dawn Patrol deal was unreal. When we first saw it, we couldn't believe our eyes. The fact I had my Canon in my hand while standing the right place was simply luck! Candidly, any super good footage on this channel has been luck ;)

[@santahawes8389]

Guys, I truly loved the video! I spent a week working the Balloon Fiesta about 20 years ago. I fell in love with the whole event, and can't wait until I can get my tribe out there to be able to experience it! The daughter (10 y/o) has watched the video at least three times, and she SO wants to go. Thank you for sharing!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's great!

Wife and I had a full belly laugh at the “SQUIRREL” moment. Love the videos. Look forward to you each weekend

[@FloridaGems]

We loved the Balloon Fiesta! It was such a memorable experience for us!! We hope to go again!

[@LisaMarli]

OMG, Tori is growing up. It happens. Be brave Mom, you have raised an awesome kid. And the balloons are gorgeous, I have friends there, I really need to go.

[@journeywiththejones3758]

Love, Love, Love this update. The Balloon Festival has been on my bucket list since i was a kid and now i have the means and time to go its happening next year. Between KYD and Less Junk More Journey you two have given us more inspiration than we can stand lol thanks peeps for the amazing views.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That's awesome Nathan! Post lots of pics so we can relive it with you next year!

[@journeywiththejones3758]

I will do my best but i'm not in your league yet for video my friend!

[@PaulSmith-hu7su]

Excellent, we are from Calgary Alberta Canada, did the Balloon Fiesta a few years ago, absolutely an outstanding event. Dawn patrol is the best!

[@boymama2620]

The music you used in this was so serene, it was perfect! That's awesome that you got to go up in a balloon during the festival!

[@cslay06]

Loved it guys! Thank you! Cant wait to see it for myself. Keep up the great work and take care of that family!

[@shanewilson765]

How cool is that, Your daughter going to Mexico with your church to help build houses, and how ironic you are going to Albuquerque at same time because my sister n law lives in Alb and her children go to Mexico with they're church to help build houses. I live in AZ also and really enjoy your videos

[@MA-jr8hj]

We have lived here north of Albuquerque for 25 years, and 2017 was just about the most amazing balloon fiesta ever. I think you will agree that pictures and film just can't capture it. Everyone we have had visit us to go with us just has to gaze up and around with their jaw dropping! This year I flew from the fiesta field with a pilot we crew for, and you just can't be depressed or sad when you are out there. Truly worth the effort of a trip to New Mexico, along with lots of other unique experiences. I promise, tourism dept. is not paying me!!!

[@shirlsingletary1]

We loved the fiesta this year and have plans for next year too. October is a great time to be in New Mexico

[@MakingMotorhomeMemories]

We love Balloon Fiesta! We can't wait to drive our coach down for this! We've seen it a couple of times while visiting family and love, love, love it! ❤

[@sharonh5399]

I don't have an RV, but I love watching you guys. I love how you both plan together at times. That balloon ride must have been amazing!

[@jamesfarnham1976]

Wow so beautiful! Fascinating info about "flying the box" as the reason for location of the fest!! Thanks for the early rise sacrifice for all of us viewers! Jim.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're welcome, but at least was only 35 degrees. The early rise today to get the sunrise over monument hurt my fingers it was so cold! I hope it was worth the time lapse :) Won't know for another month. Onto Moab...

[@DnSAdventures]

Such beautiful footage guys! Thanks for sharing your adventures. :)

[@jodymooney255]

Great video and I loved the music in the beginning! You will love Santa Fe!

[@pattiemongillo530]

Awesome video, I would love to see that some day,. A former co worker went few years ago and raved about it.

[@tinaarmijo8000]

Live in Albuquerque and look forward to Balloon Fiesta every year and friends coming in from all over every year. Really something to see. Glad you got to fly, how fun for you :)

[@jenmcmartin8231]

Wow! Thank you so much for taking us with you!

[@FourKingdomTrekkers]

This video is the best so far, except the ones with the Glaciers in Alaska (which actually brought me to tears)! So extremely beautiful!

[@2nGeneva]

Beautiful beautiful video. Thank you for putting in the time. you guys are terrific.

[@curtisjailor]

Such a beautiful video! Thank you! This place is on my list...someday.

[@EatSleepRVRepeat]

Wow the beginning of the video was just magical!

[@leroysouza5066]

That was amazing show of balloons . I give you guys a lot of credit. I would never get up in one of those. It was interesting to know about the different elevations of winds. Where you can come back home. Your daughter is awesome to help those people in Mexico . You guys are the best. Wish we could meet some day. Take care and be safe. The Souza’s.

[@damiengarcia1333]

Glad i was able to watch your video boondocking camping for the 2017 balloon fiesta . Everytime i watch your family you guys are off doing doing amazing family stuff and adventures.

[@iackiemcc]

Hope you enjoyed my home town. We love our balloon fiesta.

[@EL-bz9up]

Wonderful, the balloons , the sunset, your good cheer. And go Tori!

[@Mvn4Wrd]

I grew up in ABQ! Awesome Magical take. Beautiful. Mission trip, Wowwee!! Blessing!!

[@larzchavez]

Magical car thefts? Highest murder rate? Yes magical

[@pamthompson5385]

Totally awesome. Thanks for taking us along!!!

[@allenwatts4497]

Loved the squirrel Easter egg, had to watch twice.

[@vermin999]

I had to watch it multiple times!

[@barbaraolson600]

Love Balloon Fiesta, the Balloon Glow, The Bio-Park. I miss New Mexico! Go to Journal Center, you can not miss Ballon Fiesta Park, please reserve in advance. There is a Balloon Museum, lots of good burritos and hot chocolate to enjoy. Beautiful photos, I want to take your family so many places. Be sure and visit Los Alamos and the Bradbury Museum, Bandelier Monument and Valles Caldera as the boys will enjoy and learn.

[@chrisr6157]

So fun! I want to see this someday! I plan to buy my camper in 2 years and start to travel. Thank you for such great footage and information!

[@faustorodriguez1778]

Ola amigos todos sus videos me gustan y saludos a su niños megusta verlos

[@EmAndtheGang]

Fantastic, of course! You guys do the best job showcasing an event! It is definitely on our list of places to go. I've loved hot air balloons ever since I was a kid. One of my first memories is when my dad bought my mom a Hot Air balloon ride during a race in Burlington, NC for Mother's Day. It was so much fun and so beautiful to watch all of the gorgeous colors lighting up the sky and taking off! I can't wait to get the chance to see such a big event like the fiesta!

[@jayburris6252]

I was fortunate to live some of my high school years in Albuquerque. I sure did take living there and this event for granted. Can't believe you got to go up in the pig! Looking forward to your trip to coloRADo! Hope to see you at a insider event here.

[@0HARE]

Wow, what a treat! The Balloon Fiesta is truly spectacular. Gotta Go

[@morrisadventure3655]

Amazing! Definitely on my list for next year! One of my favorite videos you have done! Thank you so much!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks!

[@kevinstephenson3880]

Are you guys from the Phoenix area? I'm a balloonist that lives in Glendale, AZ. I fly only in the cooler months due to excessive heat. My flying season is typically from the mid October thru April if we're lucky. Your welcome to join us! Balloon Fiesta is truly special.

[@fberger54]

Yes, it's a 10. Putting it on the calendar for next year. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you guys.

[@BettyA]

Wow, absolutely amazing footage, and so beautiful.. Love it that you got to fly on the flying pig. How cute! Everything about this trip was awesome! I know that in my time of writing you've long since been to Santa Fe, but "video-wise" I know you're gonna love it. It's hard to top this one though ;-))

[@KeepYourDaydream]

We did love it. I hope everyone likes food... because that's all we did!

[@lauranewell67]

I think this is the video that allowed me to discover you guys! We did the balloon fiesta last year for my birthday (with the Monaco group) and it was so amazing! A few months ago I decided to start your videos from the beginning and I’m just loving them! We have a 40’ diesel pusher and pull our toys with us (side-by-side and motorcycles). One of our favorite destinations is Moab - If you ever want a personalized side-by-side tour of the trails there, just hit us up! We go (usually) every spring and fall.

[@WeighinInHealthyHappyLife]

On my bucket list!!! I went to a much smaller version in Colorado Springs years ago and it was magical...everything about it made me smile!! Thanks for sharing...looking forward to seeing Santa Fe with you!!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Santa Fe was awesome. #Foodvlog

[@MaddFinds]

Time lapse footage is great! Thanks!

[@vickidolph1581]

Just watched this video and was so excited because my husband and I were at the Balloon Fiesta in 2017 also!! It has been on my bucket list since I was a teenager and my Aunt showed me pictures of it! Seeing all of the special shapes and the Glodio again was awesome! I got some amazing photos and videos while we were there!!

[@HSkyler]

Thank you, thank you! Lived in NMex 17 years, 2 hours north in Abiquiu. Every now and then we'd see a few balloons come over the Sangre de Christos late in the day. What a wonderful experience you had!

[@kenpaulson5299]

Now I have a new bucket list event to go to! Thank you again for your channel!

[@pierreguzman3869]

Great post - love hearing about your adventures

[@garyhanson4133]

This is on my list as it looks like so much fun. I have a friend that is a ball on pilot and he said its on his list as well. Of course I have to get the RV first. I have 2markets to go to in Feb one in Orlando and one in DC. How much fun would it be to RV it :-) some day I'll get it worked out.

[@jlcarpenter4025]

Grew up there, my first Balloon Fiesta was 1976. You made me homesick :)

[@KeepYourDaydream]

I can see why you'd be homesick. What an event.

[@mooreak21]

Awesome video. You guys have really nailed it. Thank you for showing everyone this!!

[@p38lit1]

my wife and i were there wish we had seen u all, love your family.we have a four winds c class.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

That would have been fun. We bumped into a couple people that watch the channel. Always a good time.

[@karyningels8986]

Just love your videos and such a beautiful family.

[@markclark787]

Very cool, colors are impressive I am new to trailers, you are inspirational, I pray for your family to be safe

[@elizabethortiz4376]

Glodio is what the PM event is called. You guys picked a great year to go. Usually the Glodios are canceled due to wind.

[@dwaynenelson7957]

Awesome video, my wife and I really need to get to this festival. One thing I believe is missing from most KZbin RV channels is that seldom is there a mention of what date(s) the videos were taken. I realize in this instance it would be easy to 'Google" it and find out the events dates but for many other videos it is difficult to determine. Many locations have good-better-best times to visit so knowing what dates are shown in a video would really be helpful. Thanks again for all the great videos!

[@ElementaryExplorers]

There’s just something about the humor (squirrel!) mixed with the amazing video quality and your fun family that makes your videos so awesome! Thanks for sharing, and maybe we will cross paths in Colorado!

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Squirrel! She had the same too. We were cracking up over that. Thanks!

[@antonioaa8097]

Awesome as always. Thanks for sharing..

[@alaskangalb]

Absolutely FANTASTIC. Yep.. normally wordy me is just going to take this in.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

You're catching up!

[@redskalslifeontheroad2461]

guys love the video. we were suppose to make it to the fiesta but instead wound up driving to texas...next year we are there....always great watching your videos.

[@sandyl8636]

So beautiful, wow!!

[@Sun-for-man]

Bin doing the festival since 1972? That makes you the prettiest senior citizen in American!! Haha and having three kids after 50 wow!! Haha great video great family..

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Give or take 6 years :)

[@scottguthormsen5929]

I was there!! Absolutely spectacular - not to be missed. Drove our new Pleasureway Plateau TS class B from Georgia home to Scottsdale and spent two days in Albuquerque (both days at the Balloon Fiesta) along the way. Spent the night at Walmart and parked for free at the Fiesta site morning and evening. The free parking is on the upper parking area overlooking the main site. Had a wonderful time, wish I would have seen you guys.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Would have been great. We love bumping into people that watch the channel. It's a small community and everyone is cool.

[@tonitaylor5485]

Outstanding have always wanted to go to a hot air festival. Great videography

[@sohntiseosorio8321]

Awesome episode!! I will be there next year.

[@ericvaneck4296]

Your productions are always great but this was really special.

[@victoriadaza9456]

i agree!

[@jeremiahkemnitz2218]

I was in the Albuquerque win the Balloon Fiesta happened. I would have loved to meet you guys. Be blessed and safe on the roads out there. Bull Frog

[@karenlowe-alton417]

Your videos keep getting more and more polished! We recently purchased a small trailer and are waiting to take it out on it’s first trip. Can’t wait!

[@mikesobek7644]

That was awesome! Thanks guys.

[@alexancheta9562]

A-friggin’ -mazing! Your camera shots are downright eye candy! The visuals are so clear and delicious, you almost went to bite into it! And as usual your dialogue and banter is so entertaining. One of your best yet!!

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

Beautiful sunset! Thank you!!

[@rockwestfahl]

This is great! When you were there my wife and I were in Tucumcari at the Catus RV park on a family research trip. We watched the balloons fly on tv and probably saw you guys and did not know it. Looks like you had a great time.

[@TravelswithYoly]

Loved the classic "parade commentary" .... you guys nailed it :-)

[@n1spirit]

HAHA... That panda bear balloon looked like he was... um, well, like he was doing sumthin' non-quite-PG. So glad you didn't get a shot of the smile on Chen's face. 🤣 (Just kidding.) Another great video. I'm from Carlsbad, NM and sadly, the balloon festival is something I've never seen firsthand so I was SO HAPPY that you took video of this, as well as the video of the beautiful NM sunset. I swear that I think NM and AZ have the most beautiful sunsets. Thanks for another great video you two...

[@carriesherman775]

Loved this video. Come to the "Adirondack Balloon Festival" in upstate NY! I'm lucky enough to have spent my life experiencing balloon festivals and it's just such a blast!

[@AJ-ut8cz]

The pilot who owns Adirondack balloon rides flies here in Albuquerque often.

[@dreamages9838]

i loved the BC as well so much to see. Thanks for your pics and videos.

[@dannylayton1106]

A glimpse of Faith!

[@kirstenstern6402]

Great video! We hope to get to the fiesta in 2020. I should try to hitch a ride on Hamlet the Pig. The inscription on my wedding ring says "When Pigs Fly", referring as to whether my husband would ever get married. Here we are, 25 years later.

[@edbenson98]

Those early morning and nighttime shots of the balloons firing up were unbelievable! Great video! #KYD

[@arturowagner4728]

I saw the balloon fest in North Scottsdale in 1999. Still cool!

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

How exciting. I have been in a hot air balloon over the Napa Valley. I would love to see this event. Your balloon, the 🐷 not exactly incognito. Also your “announcing” was excellent and fun.

[@lamontanera85]

This is so beautiful! Just found your channel and subscribed. I love your spirits!! You inspire me to full time rv, I love how encouraging and fun loving you both are!

[@dmany7800]

I love all your adventures but this trip was extra awesome! It was super cool to see the footage of you guys passing through my home community👍🏽 I love the balloons and glad your family experienced the Land of Enchantment🌶

[@jessejamesdaniels]

Love 1mission I hope Tori had a great time down there. Swing thru Flagstaff this season we may have snow by January.

[@pennyswings]

Great pictures. You’re time lapse was great.. Tori is such a dynamite young woman. Great to see such nice trips you take us on. Season 4 is rocking👍. Did you get to see Less Junk MORE journey? They were there too.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks. I think LJMJ was there last year.

[@pennyswings]

I thought their video was from this year as it came up on KZbin like it was their next video, didn’t bother to look at the date. Sorry I must really be behind on their videos😀. By the way, loved your interview it was so funny.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

:) I just talked to Nate a couple days ago. Hopefully we can hook-up again soon. That was a fun visit in the Tetons.

[@DGFavorite]

We made reservations for 2018 after watching this!!!!!

[@YahushasDisciple]

That was simply magical. It is a must do at the top of my list!

[@deanwebster]

This was awesome!! Its high priority on my list. Well done you guys, it may just be one of my favourite videos. :) Sure seems weird without Tori along. Thanks for sharing.

[@KeepYourDaydream]

Thanks Dean. I know right? It will make Tori cameos in future Seasons fun though :)

[@FocusedontheRoad]

Love the balloon fest! Cinnamon is from ABQ so she has been several times. So much fun! We will definitely be going again in the future.. especially during our full time RV time! Great coverage of the festival guys!

[@donaldwright6543]

[@evelynrobles5513]

Beautiful thanks for sharing 😘🙏🏼😄❤️

[@racsop70]

Watch their video on the perfect rig. Get into something that will get you going in the short term. You can always trade up later.
