It is interesting that my aunt, OmaLois, a youngster at 72, would go up in a balloon again, and Father C, Donna's dad, would go for another ride at 88 years. Wow! Mary and I have some fears to conquer! Like Ginger says, the price is another hurdle. Lynne and Ruthie- sounds like a great 50th birthday gift! Donna, your dad is a gem!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892804871759397018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-8849457063045061432007-05-24T20:58:00.000-04:002007-05-24T20:58:00.000-04:00When my dad turned 75, my step-mom wanted to give ...When my dad turned 75, my step-mom wanted to give him a hot air balloon ride.

And, as Father "C" tells us, one is never too old to experience something new!

Re hot air balloning: My wife, Donna's step-mother, gave me an hour in a hot air balloon for my 75th birthday. Because of an unexpected updraft the hour turned into an hour and twenty minutes.

It was amazing. I figured why not do it when it was a free offer to a few employees. There are many here in AZ floating over the mountains.

For the past 13 years I've lived in places where they do a lot of ballooning (ballooning and wine valleys seem to go together, oddly), but a ride is always beyond my pocketbook.<BR/><BR/>They are beautiful, though.Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14826899900356202742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31176502.post-28606478995592909982007-05-24T09:56:00.000-04:002007-05-24T09:56:00.000-04:00No, Ruth, my fear of heights keeps me on the groun...No, Ruth, my fear of heights keeps me on the ground.

Now, nearing 50, I still find them beautiful and magical but, like you, I'm not sure if I'd have the nerve.Lynne at Hasty Brookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187035706322695138noreply@blogger.com
