If you've never been, this is something you must see at least once in your life! It's amazing. Lucky for us we can wake up and look out our bedroom window bright and early and see the balloons lifting off. But you need to get up close and personal at the Color The Skies Hot Air Balloon Festival in Ripon next weekend. You have to see the beautiful balloons, the kites and the amazing Blue Angels as they fly through the skies of Ripon.
Last year, the boys were so stoked to go, we woke up early (as in 5am...too early) to check out the festivities. We had so much fun, and although it was too windy for the balloons to launch, there was still plenty for us to do and eat! The early morning pancake breakfast is a must!! I hear there are jet rides, balloon rides, a 1 mile and a 5k run, which we didn't partake in, but there are lots of other activities and vendor booths for the whole family. All proceeds go to the Children's Hosptial of Central California, a truly amazing cause.
So do your part, spend the day with your loved ones having fun and supporting the Children's Hospital.
