Balloon Fest

Friday morning we got up really early and headed to Provo for Balloon Fest! I've seen my sister's pictures every year, but have never gotten to go. It was a blast. My Uncle is celebrating 30 years of his printing business. His balloon goes up every year at balloon fest. Pretty neat to see all the different balloons they have going up. We met up with the Alexander side of the family and had a fun morning in the balloon then we went out to breakfast.

After they did the ride at the balloon fest we broke off and did family rides. You land where you can! First ride: some neighborhood street

Then it was my turn. I went with Al's wife Sarah. We definitely had the prettiest ride. Over a gorgeous golf course, a creek, and into some trees. It was lots of fun. Thanks Uncle Jeff!

On the last ride you need a very open space to pack up the balloon. What better than someone's large front yard?
