The best balloon fest ever.

Sometimes my family goes to the balloon fest in Provo and it's loads of fun. However, today was especially great. That's because when we got there, the balloons looked liked this...


But then the wind made them do this...


And the people started to jump out of their tipping baskets like this...


And this crazy man...


Started yelling at everyone to "get out of the way!" so they didn't get squished by the balloons like this...


....so help me if you get squished by a parachute as heavy as a feather.

Then kids started jumping on the deflating balloons like this...


And that was the end of the balloon fest. The whole thing lasted a total of 5 minutes and I'm so glad we were there to witness the hilarious sight. I wish my pictures did the experience justice, but Nik and I spent most of the time observing and laughing instead of snapping photos. It was a priceless sight to see people frantically hauling chairs, children, blankets, etc so they wouldn't get attacked by the balloons :). I hope you all had a great 4th of July today, I know me and Nik sure did.
