We went on a Hot Air Balloon ride this weekend. It was incredible. Scott's work was a sponsor for the Balloon rally so we got a free ride. We were only in the air for about 30 minutes, but it was an amazing experiance. Probably a once in a life time experiance, we asked him how much it would be to take another flight.... $275 a person.
This is the Air Bear. We took it on the flight with us and took pictures with it. We send the pictures to our Pilot and then they send the bear along with the pictures to a child in a hospital.
This is our Pilot and co-pilot. They have been flying for 25 years. They are great people.
After every flight they do a celebration for the safety of the flight and have a toast. If it is your first flight you have to do the toast withouth your hands. Scott and I toasted with 7up while everyone else toasted with some bubbly.
