As part of Springville's Art City Days Festival they have a Balloon Fest. On Friday and Saturday morning at 6:30 am the trucks pull up at the junior high and the crews start unloading the hot air balloons. They play loud fun music, there are free donuts, free helium balloons, free face painting and tattoos (we never do that part) and as the balloons lift off, some of them throw out candy and balls with numbers on them corresponding to prizes at one of the tables set up. This year Joshua was old enough to run into the mob of children (and sometimes teenagers) to pick the candy up, but even then he only got 2 pieces. Abigail was still too little and she was disappointed she didn't get any candy - even after I reminded her she got 2 donuts. But, then while Joshua was playing with his balloon it popped and he sobbed and sobbed, and then Lukas just decided to let his go and watched it float away, so I guess there was enough disappointment for everyone that day. Just kidding. We had a lot of fun, despite the tears.
