Centralia, IL

We had a good time in Centralia, IL this past weekend, we got 2 out of 4 flights in. Bad weather kept us grounded Friday night and Saturday morning. Here's a picture of our friend George Thomas' balloon, Freedom.

Then we drove home just in time to fly our balloon Sunday evening. I caught Ashtin sitting down on the job, Miss Hollywood looks pretty good there, huh?

Thank you to Tim and Renee, and Linda, Dalton and Ashtin for coming out Sunday night. Kenny had a great flight and a perfect landing. He's going to be a great pilot! I am so very proud of him!!

Hoping to fly again later this week, so stayed posted, I will try to get more pictures on here.

It seems like there are never enough hours in the day to do everything, we have been flying so much lately that I haven't had time to post pictures. Here are a few pictures from a few weeks ago.
I love this shot of the moon with the balloon.

The little girl looking out of the sun roof of the car is precious.

Thank you to Brian for sharing the pictures he has taken of Mai'Ken Dreams.

We are headed to Centralia, IL this weekend so look for more pictures next week. Unfortunately, we will not be taking Mai'Ken Dreams to Centralia with us, so I will be posting pictures of Lynn's balloon, Skydreamer.

Having fun ballooning

Things have been very busy around here, so busy I haven't had a chance to post any pictures. Kenny got three flights in this past weekend, thanks to Tim and Layne for flying with us then. He got another flight in Thursday evening, also thanks to George for that instruction.

In addition to three flights, three crew members have had birthdays. My mother in law, Peggy, had a birthday Thursday, July 29th, my niece, Faythe, had a birthday Thursday, July 30th, and I had a birthday Sunday, Aug 1st. My sister in law, Jennifer, made the flip flop cake for Faythe and the Mai'Ken Dreams balloon cake was a join effort between both Jennifer and Faythe. I didn't want to cut it!
