Early Morning Balloon Launch

There was a hot air balloon festival a few miles from our house.  Riley and I decided we wanted to rise with the sun to go check it out.  It was great to spend some one-on-one time with him with our two sleeping beauties caught up on their much needed zzz's!

Here are some of the pictures from that morning:

Lift Off!

Lots of balloons there!

Riley liked this one because it reminded him of Captain America!

Headed towards our house

Loved the colors of this one

I liked how this one had flags hanging off of it

This poor guy never got off the ground

Heading towards the Wasatch

This one is headed towards Little Cottonwood Canyon

Some of them landed back in the field where they took off from, while others landed in the lot across the street or in neighborhood cul-de-sacs.  Riley and I had a blast watching them.  Bonus for us was seeing our good friends from Grace while we were there!  I love to bump into people while we're out and about...makes this place feel more like "home" instead of a temporary address!
