Balloon Fest 2011

Every year, Provo has a Balloon Festival during the Fourth of July celebrations.  I took Ruth and Gareth on Friday morning.  We had to wake up at 5:30am in order to get there by 6:30.  When we arrived, the balloons were just starting to fill up.  It was fun to be able to walk around and get some great up-close looks at all the balloons.  The kids thought it was pretty awesome.




Gareth watching as the Darth Vader balloon gets ready for lift off.



The balloons were right above us.  Gareth got a bit nervous thinking that they might pop and fall on us.




The Darth Vader balloon was pretty cool.  The people who own it came all the way from Belgium.





Guess what this one is!  It's a coke bottle.

It is 182 feet tall!
