Eyes to the Sky Hot Air Balloons

Salina, UT has a hot air balloon festival called Eyes to the Sky and it's every June. Tony and I got engaged here in 2010 up in a hot air balloon! It was soo amazing and my first time up every in a balloon. It's been our tradition to go back every year to see the balloons and camp for the weekend and this is our 6th time going. Every year has gotten better and better and lucky for me to have 4G this time with my phone so I was able to Snapchat a lot of cool stuff we did as well as stay in touch with family and friends throughout the day.

Salina Hot Air Balloons Weekend!

It's that time of year again! I was so excited that this event wasnt canceled since it's a tradition for Tony & I to attend the Eyes to the Sky hot air balloon event in Salina, UT ever since we got engaged there in 2010. 

This year our friends Heidi & Andrew were able to join us which was pretty cool to be able to share the event with some friends.

We left Friday evening, a little later than planned but after picking up our friends in Lehi we headed towards Salina which was less than 2 hours away. We filled up with gas and got some good eats at Wendy's and found our campsite. We had talked about going to the Manti temple pageant but we will save that for another time. At the campsite we collected some firewood, got settled and made some s'mores. 

The next morning we were up early to head into town for the balloon launch.

We went back to our camping spot after the balloons launched and Andrew made everyone pancakes. They were so delicious!

 After eating we headed out to Fremont Indian State Park and also found a Walmart in Richfield because I had 2 lights that went out on my car and somehow Tony & I both forgot to bring the eggs for omlettes. Whoops!

Sunday Morning Hot Air Balloons [Salina]

I am not the best at coming up with creative titles for these blog posts so I'm sorry if they are a bit boring or repetitive. Sunday morning we woke up early one more time and drove to the launch site to see if the balloon were going to fly or not. They did!

A few more shots of the hot air balloons on Sunday morning in Salina, UT

This balloon was probably my favorite. I loved the colors and design

This one is pretty too - bright colors!

Driving to Escalante National Park

And here I am!

A nice couple took our picture

Owl hogging all the chips. Haha

I love the reflection in the side mirror too

Contrast of colors. So pretty

Another cool shot I liked

We hiked to "The Tanks"

So happy we are pulling the teardrop behind us

A pool of yucky water, yet there were somehow creatures in it. Way up in the rocks in the puddle of water. I dont know how they even got in there!

Blocking the sun

Pioneer Register. Crazy to read!

The end of a beautiful hike. We probably didnt even see all there was to see, as usual! :)
