... and boy was it a beautiful balloon! Meadaowbrook Elementary was blessed to have a hot air balloon visit today. There is a BalloonStampede this weekend at Antelope Island and they came to tell us about the event. They showed the students the math and science needed to pilot a balloon. It was fascinating to see how the balloon was inflated, how they hold it down, how to load passengers and then deflate and pack the balloon. When they asked if I wanted to go up. I said, "Noooooo." But I loved being close and taking pictures. I am glad there are fun moments like this in my job. If you take the Clipper, look for some of the faculty in the balloon!
