Thursday, Extreme Delight

Ok guys, what I have been waiting on since getting the news pertaining to our balloon, finally transpired.  And what excitement it was.  I might add, working the balloon was very physical.  Still tired and it all begins again at 4:30pm.  But the pleasure out weighs the discomfort.  Sooo amazing.  If anyone reading this ever gets a chance to view a balloon show, try to volunteer to be on the chase crew.  Help is always needed.  The enjoyment you will receive will be emmense.  Enough chatter, time to post...only one problem, did not get a pic of the purple people eater.  Too busy.  Will try again tonight.

                                 Getting set up.  The blue balloon is not ours.  It is the stork
                                   The basket is ours.  Do I see Tim's hands in his pocket?

                                                         Now, Tim that's more like it

                                                        That's our balloon stretched out

                                                                 We are puffing the air

                                                                          Almost up

                                                          This is the stork behind us

Can't upload any more.  Will try later.  Most of the special shapes were just blown up and they did not fly.  Don't know why, maybe I'll find out tonight.  Check back
