First of all I am not an early riser but someone at Steve's work said that hot air balloons are fun to watch and if we were still around when they came we should go so we got up at 5:15 a.m. to get ready and we went to the field and watched the hot air balloons for a couple of hours. They said they do it early because the heat from the sun causes them to not have as much control over where they are going. They threw bean bags at a target on the ground and they were supposed to try to pop some helium balloons that they had around the field with jousting sticks but no one tried to pop them only a couple of the balloons were able to come back over the field and then most of them ended up landing other places around the valley cause the wind wasn't quite right but we stopped at a grocery store on our way home and saw a couple of them landing in the parking lot and getting folded up. Sierra said she could feel the hot air coming out of the balloon as they were folding it.
