Hot air balloons took to the sky Saturday morning for the annual Lake Travis Flight.
Dozens of balloons take part in the Central Texas Ballooning Association's flight every year.
"I've been ballooning since I was 13, and my dad's a pilot, so I've been around it for a long time," balloon pilot Cheri White said. "I love the peacefulness of it, the flying above the landscape. It's a beautiful way to see the earth and see Austin this morning."

That's just half the fun. White said the ballooning group is like one big family.
"Where you land, landowners are always really happy to see you," she said. "It's a good time."
