Lancaster, PA

Hey wait for me! ... that's what I get for taking off almost dead last
I see the "X" ... now if I can only get close enough to throw the beanbag at it...

Packing Up with a lot of help!

Hmmmm ... can you imagine having the balloon either drop the kids off at the bus stop or get picked up from there?

Williamsport, PA 2005

RedHill, PA 2005

The picture on the cake, one of my favorites, was taken during pack up after flying from the Relay-for-Life charity event.
That's Stefani, one my passengers, in the basket as we were packing up. She managed to strike a cord within and we have remained 'pen pals' since. I was surprised, flattered and humbled when Grandma mentioned Stefani had asked for an ice-cream cake with a specific ballooning picture on it for her 11th birthday.
Is she looking forward to going aloft again? (do you really need me to answer that question?!?)
