We started our day watching the sun come up on antelope Island.
They had a balloon festival out on Antelope Island this weekend. Nathan and I went and was disappointed because they only had 4 balloons.
The fun part was that they let us walk around the balloons while they blew them up and it was fascinating to watch.
After watching the balloons for a bit we drove around the Island and saw some wild life.
At night Tammy and I went back out (our husbands wanted to watch a football game)but all they did at night was stand the balloons up and light them up for a few seconds every once-in-a-while just for show. I tried to get some pictures of that but it was kind of hard and they are not the best pictures.
They had advertised "fireworks" and I am always a succor for fireworks but when we were sitting there waiting for them they announced that this was the 1st year for them and they were just a trial run so they would be less than 5 minutes-less than 5 minutes that must of meant they had 1 or 2 fireworks! So we left the crowd and drove back home and got a peanut buster parfait. The funny part of this story is that in the midst of driving home we got caught up in a MAJOR DUI driving blitz and of course Tammy did not have her licence, but they let us go and told us to have a great night. We got our ice cream and came home and sat on the porch and rocked for a while. Rocking seems to solve a lot of problems.
We ended the day with the sun setting on Antelope Island.

I would have liked a picture of the rocking on the front porch. Sounds like fun.
Is this an annual event? I would love to see it. I don't know why but hot air balloons are fascinating to me.
We have these up here also!!! I just have to walk outside the house they fly right over our house!!! Fun to watch.
Prossers' Balloon Fly in is September 24th. Want to come up for it? They have way more than 4 balloons!!
