4th of July Weekend

Sofaia and I woke up July 3rd, at 4:45 AM to drive to Lisle, IL for their annual 4th of July Weekend Hot Air Balloon Festival. We arrived at 6:00 AM in time to see 24 balloons fill up and take off. It was a beautiful morning to enjoy the views and scenery. Sofaia made some blueberry muffins and hot chocolate which we enjoyed while sitting on Grandma and Grandpa Kreider's old folding lawn chairs.

I've never seen anything like this. It would be fun to ride in the balloons, if I could get up the courage. Great photos! Great Story, thanks.

Wonderful post, Chris! I've always wanted to go up in a balloon or a blimp and never got it together to do it. Just seeing the beauty of the balloons filling and rising into the sky is fulfilling and a great sequence... guess that's why some call it soaring.
