As a child hot air balloons would go through our neighborhood every year! We would watch dozens of them come through in a single day and even had one start up and land on our school ground. It was so beautiful seeing all the bright colors of red, blue and yellow and fancy designs against the clear blue Arizona sky. I always wanted to join them up there.

Now that I have children of my own I’m sure they too would love to take a ride in a hot air balloon.
