Floating in the air, victorious on the ground

Here are two iconic scenes in Menifee: Youth sports and a hot air balloon. Thanks to Kiara Beatty for sending us this photo, taken during her son's soccer game at Bell Mountain Middle School earlier this month. Kiara said the Sandstorm won its AYSO divisional championship and will represent Menifee next month in the regionals.
