One of my favorite parts of the Fourth of July in Provo is the Balloon Fest put on by the America's Freedom Festival. Growing up my family would wake up, make breakfast, and watch the balloons fill up the sky.
Kimmy Bramble the 2nd Attendant and her family are very involved in the Balloon Fest and go ballooning all the time. Kimmy's dad, Curt Bramble, generously offered to take Melanie Jones and I up for a balloon ride. It was the first time for both of us.
This was the balloon we went up in!

It was fascinating to watch all the balloons start to fill up.

This balloon drew a large crowd. People even came dressed up as Star Wars characters. The balloon and its pilot came all the way from Belgium. His balloon got stuck in customs and almost didn't make it, but I am so happy that it did make it because it was incredible.
