Does that not look like a picture you'd see in a magazine or something?! Ok, I'm a vain little beast!I'm posting this photo not only because it's the best picture I've ever taken, but because it's January, and I thought we could all use a reminder of summer!
I took this photo in July 2005 at a balloon festival in Provo, Utah. They do this every year as part of Provo's Freedom Festival. They started doing the balloon festival when I was a teenager and I always wanted to go, but it took me until I was in my late 30's to actually go...mainly because you have to get up really early in the morning! (And it didn't help when I moved across the country from Provo nearly 12 years ago.) I dragged my three boys out of bed to go to this event, and they weren't very happy about it at first, but they loved it and afterwards they all agreed that it was worth getting up for.
Here's a few other photos from that event:

Fun photos--and very good! A favorite tradition.
Yes, that first photo looks like it could go on a calendar. And thanks for the cheery summer photos. I still haven't been to the balloon festival in Provo (in my defense--I've lived out-of-state for the last 13 years and in my late teens I was over at McDonalds making breakfast for all those people going to the balloon festival and parades, etc. that I didn't get to see myself.) I think I'll just go by myself this summer and leave the rest of my family snoozing in peace! Better yet, why don't you come out to Utah this summer and we can go together?!
and counting... those are great pictures!
