April 23
Today was the big day of our hot air balloon ride. All of us have been so looking forward to it. It's not cheap but it's one heck of a check off the bucket list. I try not to remember how early we had to get up (hotel pickup at 5am!) but you have to start this early to get the right wind. Most of the time captain mike took us so low as we swept over the fairy chimney rocks. At one point he started to go up up up and suddenly we were above the clouds! G & I have done hot air balloon rides 2-3 times and never went this high. It was kind of scary to be up where birds or planes usually go. It was so exciting to be floating like birds. We ended the ride with a champagne celebration. This was way better than the ride over red rocks of sedona!
At one point melinda was watching the crew pack away the balloon and I think she was joking to them about helping. Next thing I saw was one of the guys picking her up and slamming her on top of the packed balloon. We were laughing hysterically. Suddenly the guys came at angie who happened to be close by and picked her up and slammed her down as well. I was laughing so hard and trying to take pictures and suddenly I was over somebody's shoulder and then airborne.
