Ogden Balloon Festival in Eden


{this one was fun because it looks
like someone took a bite out of it!
}

What a neat festival...get up at 4:30am, travel carefully so as not to disturb the wildlife and cause them to enter in our pathway, wait, and then watch some amazing people do what they do best...blow up some balloons!


It was exciting to watch the crews set up and fill the hot air balloons. I have never been so close! You could actually feel the heat from the blowers as the balloons were prepared. Which was very nice due to the fact that it was a bit chilly. All in all, we were able to see some amazing balloons. It would have been fun to go in one, but we didn't sign-up in time.

Hopefully the rain will hold off a bit tonight and they will be able to do the night glow! That sounds just incredible!


It was so fun watching
and capturing all of this!

They are gorgeous! I am positively jealous.

Papa went to Palm Springs on a business trip one year and took a ride in a balloon there. So jealous! He said it was amazing!
