A couple who couldn’t have a gender reveal party due to restrictions took their reveal to new heights - with a pilot letting of a colored fire extinguisher from a helicopter. Melissa and Jamie had been trying for a baby for 18 months, so when Melissa finally got pregnant, they wanted to celebrate with friends and family in Missouri over the holidays. But due to the pandemic they decided against traveling back and started thinking of other ways they could celebrate the special moment at home in Utah, and then share it online. One of Jamie’s friends owns Zion Helicopter company, and so Melissa came up with the idea of a fly by revealing the gender using colored fire extinguishers to make a smoke cloud. So on a sunny day in October 2020 the couple drove out into the stunning Utah surroundings and waited patiently for the helicopter to arrive. With the fire extinguishers securely fastened - and at a height they knew meant the smoke would evaporate way before it got close to the ground - the chopper flew overhead. Suddenly a puff of pink smoke streaked across the sky causing the couple to jump and celebrate. Despite a feeling they would have a boy, Melissa kept up a pattern of girls in the family - all her siblings only have daughters and Melissa and Jamie’s baby is the 7th girl in a row now.
