Panguitch Balloon Festival 2008

Every year in the end of June they have a Balloon Festival in Panguitch. It is a really neat thing to see. I couldn't even come close to getting all of the balloons in a shot. This view is from the Cooper's back deck. The sun is in your eyes a little, but it is still beautiful. Every morning after this Ashton asked if we could go and see the balloons.
They all launch and some of them even fly over into town. This year we had one land right behind the Cooper's house. I didn't get a picture of that one.
On Saturday night they had a "night glow". They line up all the Balloons along the main street and they inflate them. When it gets dark the fire that they blow makes the glow. Everyone comes out and just walks up and down the street visiting with people and watching the balloons. It really is a lot of fun. Ashton and Dallen seemed to enjoy it. They weren't scared like some kids were.

This is one of the balloons glowing. It was hard to get a good picture because they only glow for a few seconds at a time. They are really pretty at night.
