This year for the 4th of July we decided to check out the hot air balloon race in Provo. Adam has been very excited when we have seen one up in the sky so we decided to give it a try, even if it meant waking up really early.
So we woke up early in the morning and it was a bit overcast. We woke up the little guy and headed down to Provo, checking the whole way down on Facebook and wherever we could to try to see if it was still happening since it was overcast. We got there and their were no balloons, it was too windy up high. We were a little disappointed but Adam still loved seeing the fire truck that was on the street....they even let us climb on for a picture! So we left and picked up breakfast on the way home. In the afternoon we headed to my parents and had a BBQ with Tammy and her boys and the Goodmans. That was the family that was in town and it was fun to spend more time with the cousins we don't get to see very much. Ryan and Kyle were both sick, and Scott wasn't feeling the greatest so he offered to stay home with the boys while the rest of us went to Thanksgiving Piont for the Lehi fireworks. I went over early with Lindsey, Kayla, and Emily to save a spot and we played cards until the rest of the group arrived with the younger kids. The kids played together until the fireworks started and then we had fun watching them.
The next morning Scott and Adam happened to be awake about the time we would have to leave to try the balloons again so we took a chance on it. It was a lot less crowded and we got to see the balloons at all different stages. We saw them laying them out, and blowing them up, and then taking off.
Adam was a little nervous with the noise and the fire
But some food, and distance, helped him warm up.
My crazy boys!
I am one lucky woman
We sat on the grass to watch
And got to see them take off
Adam liked the balloons so the 2 early mornings were worth it.
