Spirit Of Boise Balloon Classic Kids Day in Photos
It's BACK! The Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic took to the skies this morning, and the Treasure Valley is celebrating. Here are some of our faves from the launch at Ann Morrison Park.
Kid's Day had this Boise park a buzz with kiddo's wanting to take a ride in some of the most colorful Hot Air Balloons in the Treasure Valley. The event, The Spirit Of Boise Balloon Classic has become a yearly "must do" to close out the summer months for many Boise families. It for sure has been a favorite of mine. These are just a few of the photos from this mornings event.
How fun does that look. There are still a few more days to come out and see the balloons grace the Boise Skyline. Below is the list of events for the next few days.
