Hot Air Balloons?

Did anybody notice that there was no post for the 4th of July Balloon Festival?

001

Well, that, my friends is because we were totally ready to go at 5:30 am but when we arrived at the field…

003

all the people and cars were going the other direction.

004

Apparently, there was too much cloud cover and too much wind so the whole darn shootin’ match was canceled and everyone was heading back home.

005

Which pretty much means that this year the Hot Air Balloon Festival was just, you know….

hot….air.

Yeah, I crack myself up.

007

Luckily, even in a dreadful crisis such as this, we still know how to behave.

It was a good day.

America the Beautiful

4th of July

No, no. I wasn’t in New York for the 4th of July. I was actually helping Dane in his booth. But this picture made me very happy. It’s beautiful–don’t you think?

How did you celebrate the 4th?

Lighting The World

009

My Daney-boy and his sweetheart Kortney came all the way from Idaho to man a booth at Summerfest.

019

The company he works for is called Niki-Nu Lites.

016

Perhaps you’ve heard me brag talk about them before.

015

See they make these beautiful, incredible lights, in all kinds of colors…

020

and all kinds of shapes.

014

Some even have logos…

011

very IMPORTANT logos.

013

These lights are so much fun to put together–easier than I thought too.

012

Of course, people can also buy them already put together…either way.

045

The booth attracts a lot of attention during the day, because the lights are so unique.

018

But the minute the sun starts to dip in the west…

017

these lights simply glow.

022

People actually gather around just to stare at them and try to figure out what they’re made of…

023

and how they’re put together.

040

And of course, my cute boy is right there to show them. Looks like he’s a little light-headed at the moment. HAaahaha.

I crack myself up!

017

If you happen to be in Provo this week for the 4th of July–please come visit my boy in his Niki-Nu Lites booth at the Freedom Festival.

 010

We’ll all be there to help and cheer and clap…and stare.

008

Hope to see you there!

There They Go~

You know, we’ve gone to the Balloon Fest this time of year forever and ever. Since my kids were the kids anyway–and that’s a lonnnng time ago. It’s so fun to watch them sitting back, enjoying the same events and traditions with their own families, just like we use to.

The place is the same, the food is the same, and many of the balloons are the same. But over the years, we’ve added a few choice people to our crowd.

And they’re keepers– every. last. one.
