Hot air balloon rides


Here in good ol' Riverton Wyoming every year we have a winter carnival with all kinds of fun activities like ice sculpture contests, fishing derbies and today free hot air balloon rides. It was a tethered ride so the balloon went straight up then down, but it was fun none the less. We went with Lance's brother his wife and daughter and Dave Lance's 12 year old brother. Lance, Elaina and I went first and since I was in the basket I couldn't take any pictures of us but I did take one of the inside of the balloon.

And one of our view looking over City Park and Main street Riverton; a major metropolis as you can see.

Eli, Uncle Steve and Isaac waiting their turn

Eli, Isaac, Uncle Steve and the Balloon driver. Look how excited Isaac is to FINALLY get on!


You can't really tell but Stevie is holding the once excited little boy, now crying hysterically boy because the it was too loud.

Eve, Iris and Aunt Virginia. The girls turned out to be much braver.

Up up up they go!
