Parrot Garden Tour - Best Friends Animal Sanctuary

We had signed up for the Parrot Garden tour at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab and arrived a little late but were still able to join the tour of learning about the birds here. I have wanted to do this tour for a few years now so it felt magical that it was finally happening!

Balloons and Tunes Roundup in Kanab - Day 3

Sunday morning in Kanab brought another layer of snow and another pilot briefing that announced no balloons would be flying but Smokey the Bear would be inflating. So...that was cool at least and I was able to get some fun pictures. 

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!

Belly of the Dragon hike - Kanab

Short hike means not a lot of pictures. I did take some on my Snapchat Spectacles and some cool video too. It was so cold! But worth it to check this place out.

Balloons and Tunes Roundup in Kanab - Day 2

Day 2 - Saturday - we woke up to SNOW! We had heard it might snow and sure enough, there was at least an inch on the ground by 6am when we woke up. Okay, Tony woke up and got up. I didn't really wake/get up until around 6:30. Pilot briefing was at 7:30 but we wanted to get some breakfast by the lobby in the hotel we were staying at beforehand. So...this was new. I have never been to a balloon festival where there was snow. Made for some good pictures though!

Balloons and Tunes Roundup in Kanab - Day 1

We left Ridgecrest on Thursday evening and drove for 7 hours to Kanab, Utah. There is a festival in February called Balloons & Tunes Roundup. It's in it's 5th year and we have gone to all of them I believe except last year because my brother got married the same weekend.  It was an interesting weekend for the festival starting out with Friday morning having the wind going the wrong direction and being a bit too strong. Check out how we spent the day instead...
