Balloon Festival

(Jayden's ride in Heaven.)

What is bigger than a bus, as colorful as a painter's pallet, yet lighter than air?

(Jayden's biggest job is working the crown line.)

That's easy...a hot-air balloon...but not any hot-air balloon...one that is named 'Heaven'.

(This is Bill, he's the pilot.)

Bill Costin came down from Connecticut once more. He is the owner of 'Sky Endeavors' and pilot of 'Heaven'. The weather was beautiful but the winds picked up a bit to much for safety...the first night was a 'no fly' due to wind. Saturday morning and evening was a different story though...great weather and the winds cooperated! Just about every member of the crew got to fly this year...including Jayden!

(A quick break for a picture.)

This year was extra special. Bill's daughter, Chantel, brought with her a camera crew to film the entire experience. Many of us were interviewed for a documentary on Bill!
