The Spirit of Boise Classic is a recently revived Boise tradition for hot air balloon enthusiasts to strut their stuff and for the general public to get up early or stay up late to ooohh and aaahh. Who could resist? http://www.spiritofboise.com/
We ventured out Friday night for the three demonstration inflations: One of 12 hand painted balloons in the world, the world's tallest balloon and the most famous, aka "Happiest Balloon on Earth".

Seeing as delays made us up past bed time anyway... we just stayed up for the Nite Glow event, which was really striking and surprisingly entertaining.
We never did make it to the early am launch of a balloon, but woke up about an hour after the launch and struck out for a Sunday morning drive just to see the balloons floating over the city.
In a weekend full of shopping and cleaning and organizing, this was a welcome diversion of good old fashioned family-friendly community-oriented fun. Thank You Boise!
