Cathedral City Balloon Glow

We were able to help out at the balloon glow in Cathedral City on Saturday evening. It was windy on our drive but luckily the wind died down the closer we got to our destination.

Night Glow and Lantern Liftoff

After our short hike, it was time to get ready for the night glow which turned into a candlestick (just the burners) because of wind and also another storm was coming in that would bring a light dusting of snow Sunday morning. It was still a fun evening though!

Night Glow at Fear Farms - Phoenix, AZ

Friday night balloon glow was a bit sketchy with a slight wind but a majority of 

balloons did inflate.

Our pilot pulled her balloon out but in the end decided against participating in the glow. I was able to get around to most of the balloon to capture some pictures. 

Lake, Beatles Band & Balloon Glow

Saturday afternoon after Fremont State Park, Andrew really wanted to go to a lake so we found one. This one. I'm glad I kept my feet up and out of the water.

I'm not sure that Heidi put her feet in but Andrew and Tony both did and had leeches suck on to their feet and these thin long worms start crawling on them! I even got some of the worm things get on the bottom of my shoes. Sneaky! I did not like this lake at all. 

We headed back to Salina (the lake was 30 min or so away) and caught this cool show

We bought one of the best pizzas I've ever had as we sat and people watched and hung out in the shade. It was hot!

A Beatles tribute band performed for a couple hours. I know my cousin Kevin would have enjoyed this!

Finally time for the balloon glow

It's hard for my pictures to show up good when it's night time and the balloons are swaying about a bit

I do like how this shot turned out!

Back at the campsite we made smores , chili and fritos for dinner. So fun and so good.
