Full of Hot Air...the balloon...not me!

I just have to say that I love being at the school with Bri. They had an assembly for the kids and I took a few minutes to stop by and see what they were doing. (And luckily I keep my camera in my purse!) A paraplegic ballonist came by. He told the kids about how nothing should ever stop them from living their dreams. He was working on getting his balloon pilot license when he was in an auto accident and broke his spine. He went forward anyway and was able to have his balloon reworked so that he could sit on a seat rather than inside a basket. He was truely amazing! They got to see him set up and inflate his balloon. The only unfortunate part was that while blowing it up the flame got too close to the fabric and burned a hole into it, so he could not raise it up off of the ground. But it was still fun for the kids to be able to see the balloon up close!
