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.

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...



So after that it was off to makeup to remove that chlorine thing she had going on...
And how relaxed is she? Old pro! Watch out though, not too much of that powder...



Please note: I do feed Jack. Really, I do.






But whatever the colour - it is heaps of fun!


Check out those mermaids. And yes, Darc styled her own outfit adding the 'I''ve got a bucket of attitude' black boots.Mrs Mosely was not very patient with the photo shoot! Life with a moose sized pup is never dull....
