Boise Balloon Classic 2010



There is something about a hot air balloon that invites wonder in any person age 2 to 102. It really is amazing watching these master pieces fly around. We braved waking our children up at 6:40am and getting all of us out the door and in the car by 6:50. WOW. We made it and oh what fun we had. As our kids get older we'll all plan on learning about the 'how this works', but first and foremost - Finding Joy in the event.

We really did enjoy this. It was fun to watch the balloons start out flat and perfectly folded. Then listening to the announcers say 'start your engines'. The balloons suddenly were growing and it was cool! We also witnessed some teams with broken fans, that were trying hard. They never gave up and eventually got their fans working. VERY cool to witness hardwork pay off!

I hope you enjoy the pictures!












It really was stunning to watch the sun come up over the mountains and all these amazing balloons floating above Boise.
