My wife had a surprise "trip" planned for my birthday, a hot air balloon trip
early this morning.
What a blast!
I had chores to do... holding the mouth of the balloon open while the fansinflate
it with "cool" air.

It gets harder to hold onto the fuller it gets:

Getting there....

Almost to the point that they can start the fire:

A swift few blasts of hot air.....

And up she stands:

We're off....

We went up to 2800ft and got into the faster moving air and floated across the country side
Man it's sure is FLATNorth of Dallas.


We came in over McKinney and dropped down low to peep into everyones back yard.

They dunked us intoa pond as well, it was great fun.
Sharon forced me into this shot.....

Nowwe are offto ..... I have no clue.... I'll report back when I can.
