Ballon ride? What balloon ride?

*sigh*

It was canceled. There was a slight "surface wind" so the pilot of the balloon decided that it wasn't worth it to give it a try. He said, "I really want to take you on this ride, but I really want you to be alive when we come back down." I guess I have to agree. He will be calling me this afternoon to reschedule.

Blargh.

UPDATE: I realize that I completely forgot to update this! The balloon company called on Saturday afternoon and we have rescheduled for Sunday the 19th. Lift off is at 6 AM with an hour to an hour an half ride. Then back home for meeting and SLEEP. :) However, withour RAINY weather this week that is predicted to go through Sunday, I'm not really getting my hopes up. I'll keep you posted!

Boo for you, and for us too, since we don't get to see any pictures :) I hope it works out soon!

Bummer! I have always wanted to go on a ballon ride! But it seem's like the older I get the worse my fear of heights is, so I don't think it would be the best idea. I will just be anticipating your pictures instead!:)
