Bryce Canyon/Panguitch Balloon Festival

Hot Air balloons lit up at night on Main street in Panguitch! So different to see them lit up at night. Carter and I walked up and down the street talking to all the pilots and getting their cards. Carter wanted to collect the cards with the pictures of their balloons on them. It was fun to listen to the music and see all the people. Mom, Joni, Nick, Luke, and Carter waiting for the balloons to be lit up.

Joni, Luke, and AJ taking in the view of all the balloons. We got up 5:30 AM, just to see the first balloon go up. It was worth it. The kids absolutely loved it.

The morning sun coming out!

One balloon filling with hot air. So amazing.

This is the "Motley Crew" waiting for the shuttle bus in Bryce Canyon.

Nick had the best view and ride of all.

My crazy sister Joni went out on this ledge and did crazy things while I yelled at her to get off there before the rock cracks and she plumits to her death. She never listens to me, so I just took a bunch of photos of her doing it incase those were her last moments.

The canyon rim trail view. So beautiful.

Uncle Dan, (from Texas) and Carter. Dan had a great idea that they should put an oxygen bar at the top for people like him that aren't used to the 8300 ft. altitude. He was sure his lungs were shriveling from lack of oxygen. Maybe the bar thing is a good idea.

We had such a good time. I wish I had taken a picture of the tent and me and the boys in it. We also packed in some swimming, breakfast at the Lion Club and a motorcycle parade. There was so much to do and very little time. We are going to have to visit Bryce again next year.
