When I went on a vacation to Africa with my family we did a lot of amazing things and took a lot of amazing pictures, But the one that stood out the most was most definitely this one:
This one stands out to me because it all started with me and my family waking up at 5:00am to go on a 45min road trip. My family was so tired but I was full of energy and really excited for my first ever time on a hot air balloon.
When we got there they gave us some breakfast and coffee while the hot air balloon was filling up. I ate so much because of the excitement it felt like I could eat every single thing on earth and still be hungry.
At around 6:30 the air balloon was ready. I was pumped and ready to go, but before we could get on the hot air balloon we had to divide the family into two different groups. I wanted to go with my cousins because I thought they were cool but my mom wanted me to go with her and my dad, so I did the only reasonable thing that could be done, I flipped a coin, my dad called it in the air- he yelled HEADS!- but it landed on tails so I went with my cousins and my brothers. I was very nervous and excited at the same time. The crew member said- are you ready- I yelled WE ARE READY!- and all of a sudden the hot air balloon started moving up and it got higher and higher and higher. I started to get very nervous but luckily my brother calmed me down. I was scared to lean and look over the edge of the hot air balloon. My older cousin said- I will hold you don’t worry- so she grabbed me by the waist and I leaned over and saw the most beautiful sunrise I have ever seen, I was astonished, my jaw dropped wide open. I could see zebras, giraffes, lions, rhinos, and more. When I saw the sun and the other hot air balloon in which my parents were I had to pull out my phone and take a picture it was amazing, to this day it is one of the proudest pictures that I have taken. It is easily one of the best experiences I have had in my entire life.
Whenever I need inspiration when I am down I go through my gallery of pictures and when I see this picture it reminds me of how good and how amazing things can be. This cheers me up and gets my head back up and ready to face the world.
Well now that you know the story behind this picture, tell me what do you think about this picture?
