We were in Ottumwa, IA this past weekend at the Ottumwa Pro Balloon Race. It wasn't a very nice weekend for flying, but we did have fun.
We snuck a flight in Friday evening. It was slow going, but it was a great time to take a wonderful 75 year young lady for her first ever hot air balloon ride.
Kenny's giving Joanie her instruction while John and Joe keep weight on the balloon.
Lookin' good up there, Joanie and Kenny. They were moving super slow!They did not hit the intended target, which was the park, as the winds shift on them mid flight.
Joanie was a great sport with the traditional champagne on the head toast. We think she has a secret life we don't know about. LOL
We went back to the park and set up again for the evening glow. This sure is an awesome glow balloon!!
Of course, all the balloons looked great. It was a perfect night for a glow.
We had the best crew/sponsors of the weekend. We were sponsored by Hogs 4 Dogs USA. A great organization helping stray and abused pets. John, Tammie, Lori and Joanie were so much fun. We can't wait for next year!!

Until next time,
