| Ballooning! |
| Well I have many different interests but my main interest is in Hot Air Ballooning. I have been involved with a hot air balloon crew out of Tulsa for going on 7 years now, and this is the balloon that we crew for. The majority of these pictures were taken at this year's Balloon Fest 2002, held at Wiley Post Airport. Now that I am 18, I am able to begin my pilot's training (can start earlier, just easier on paperwork to wait). So I am a Pilot In Training!! :) Yay!! May get my own balloon very soon, and it looks just like the one in the pictures (The Fireball) only smaller. Actually I found a picture of it! So I'll put it up and label it! Ok, nuff talking! |
| The Balloonist Prayer The winds have welcomed you with softness, The sun has blessed you with its warm hands. You have flown so high and so well, That God has joined you in your laughter, And set you gently back again Into the loving arms of Mother Earth. |

| I would be tempted to say that this year's Balloon Fest is one of the best rallies we've had in quite a long time! We got most all of the flights or teathered flights off and the glow was a success the first night. The Fest was held August 9th and 10th at the location already mentioned. Come next year! :) |
