Wow, what a month!

Wow, what a busy month.  We have been to Monroe, Wisconsin and Ottumwa, Iowa, and boy are we glad to be home!!!  Here's a beautiful picture from Monroe, WI, such beautiful country!!


We only flew two times while in Monroe, we were fighting some very strong winds. 

We were much luckier with the weather in Ottumwa, IA, we got in 2 glows and 3 flights.  Here are a couple pictures from Ottumwa.



We are home for a while now, and boy do I ever need the rest!  Hopefully we can get some fun flying done with our local friends and crew!

Alabama Jubilee 2012

Has it really been August since the last time I posted?  Wow. I am really going to try to do better!  We headed South for Memorial Day weekend to the Alabama Jubilee in Decatur, AL.  Our good friends Josh and Sheryl Reams made the trip with us and we met up with Roger in Decatur, along with our new crew member Leah.  We had such a great time, always a good way to kick off the summer ballooning season!


The weather was not the best for ballooning, but it wasn't the normal too windy, or stormy. No, it was hot..and dry..and still, very very still.  No wind.  We got 2 short flights in, a longer flight and a glow.   


Our next trip is Monroe WI in June, it will be a long and competitive one.  Until then, Soft Landings
