Hot Air Balloons

One of our favorite weekends in Page is the first weekend in November with the hot air balloons. The balloons lift off on Friday, Sat. and Sun. mornings around 8 am from the old golf course. On Friday Esther and I walked along the rim trail behind our house to watch them lift off. We sat at the golf course for a while then walked back toward our house as the balloons were floating by. Saturday morning the boys, Esther and I did the same thing. Hannah had dance class and only watched coming home from dance out the car window. It is so amazing to watch the balloons against the Vermillion Cliffs. We counted over 50 balloons this year. Every day at least 5 land close by our house and we love watching them. Sunday morning before church there was a balloon about 20 feet off the ground in our cul-de-sac but it landed in the next one. It was great warm weather. Saturday night they close our main street to have a balloon glow. Some of the balloons anchor down in the street and they turn on their fires and in the dark the balloons glow. This year we didn't make it to the glow because our adult session of stake conference was at the same time. But we usually go and it is incredible to see. If you want to visit Page this would be a great weekend!
