Freedom Festival - Hot Air Balloons

Early morning, 5:30am we  got up to make it to Provo to see the Hot Air Balloons inflate and rise up.  This was part of the week long festivities for Independence Day.  I've never been to the fields when this happened, even while attending BYU many years ago.  I was determined to see it this year.  Sadly more kids weren't willing to wake up early, but Rian and Trent wanted to see it.  I thought it was spectacular.  Although  it was a warmer morning, these balloons were still able to get up and float around.  


I loved how the field was flat, but suddenly the balloons started to fill and fill and soon we were crowded with  these amazing bubbles of hot air.  It was fascinating to see these fill so quickly and then take off.  Maybe I'm easily entertained, but loved it.
         



Darth Vader made an appearance.  This guy, was TALL!  Seriously, you can see the man in front of him with a kid on his shoulders and Darth was still taller then him...  It was kind of cool.  The Darth balloon came from Belguim or something.  Kind of cool.

Rian wanted her evidence...
