Never to old.

Derick, well, belated happy birthday, kid

That's a photo I took from the balloon,  it shows the marina we took off from (the daughter was with me),  the wife,  other daughter and son in law are also on the photo, but doubt you can see them.

ancient1,

 Forgot to mention,  the actual balloon flight was great,  but the landing was, shall we say was entertaining,  the pilot (think that's what you call them) attempted three landings, on the actual landing the basket bounced three times before tipping over in a smallish field with loads of cow muck,  but it was all great fun,  then the Land-rover recovery vehicles found us and returned us back to the Marina from were we took off.
 On the return trip to the marina, we all had all made friends , and loads of banter and laughter all the way back, the basket had a total of 16 passengers and one pilot. 

Derick , Sounds like you had a great time. Looked like you had the prefect day for it.

Derick, you're a hoot!

TonyKgull,

Thanks for posting the photos, flying a plane, that must be great fun.
You don't look a day older now, maybe a bit cuter in the photos.

Your post reminded me of a conversation I over heard whilst in the balloon, the pilot said we will be landing soon, I little voice from the back said, are you aiming for that field over on the left, the pilot replied, aim, you can't aim a balloon, you go where the wind takes you.
