On July 3- 5th Re/max brought their balloon over to do some advertising in the sky and because Josh is an agent we got to ride in it on the fifth. We had a fun time. First we helped set it up and then we flew over Idaho Falls from Tautphus park over to the North side of Woodruff. Woohoo! The ride was really smooth and we went really high and really low. We scared a lot of cats and dogs and cows and horses. Because it was around 7 a.m. we didn't see a whole lot of people on the ground.
Josh helped drag it out and set it up.
It's amazing that the huge balloon can
fit into that little bag!
Here they are getting it out.
To start off they start filling the balloon
with air with a big fan.
Hold On Tight Josh! Don't let go!
When it's full they start blowing the hot air to lift it upright.
Now we're ready to go!
Up, Up, and Away!
This is over S. Boulevard by Tautphus.
Here we are in the balloon.
We had kind of a rough and bumpy landing.
The last ride landed in someones yard in Rigby. They sure woke up to a surprise.

Even though I am scared of heights to some degree, I also have the conflicting desire to ride in a hot air balloon! I will watch the videos and that might cure me of both? SO FUN!
That looks like so much fun!!!
Awesome! I would love to do that someday:)
Jen! I am so glad that I found your blog! How fun your balloon ride must have been! It looks like you've been up to a lot of fun! I hope to hear from you soon.
i'm so jealous! i've always wanted to go up in a hot air balloon!!
Hi Jen! Long time no talk! What an experience that must have been. I've always wanted to ride in one, but I'm sooooo afraid of heights that I'm not sure it would be a good idea. :)
