Jackie got his first balloon flight yesterday. Darryl flew him. Very exciting. Darcy of course was well peeved that she missed out! It has been a great week of flying here. Freezing cold but clear blue skies. And a blog post about flying needs few words - the story being best told in pics...
Deano - crew chief and excellent kid wrangler waiting, waiting...
Darryl with his concentrating face on.
Jackie helping the crew
There's that face again...
Inflating. Isn't it pretty?
Firing the burners for inflation
It's nice and warm when the burners fire! Note the hand knit scarf? I have been having a lovely time knitting.
Jackie and Kel on the crown line
All aboard...
The burners are noisy and hot - so Jack hid under his jacket!
And then another long trip in the back of the troop carrier! Darcy made sure she ate as many of the packet of jelly snakes as she could - which is only fair when big brother gets to fly...






Great post Louise. You all look like you are having so much fun.

If you have an old car that can’t lasts for long then you don't need to spend high in buying HID kit. Rather you can choose McCulloch conversion kit that never requires a professional to install it.
