Scott and Diana and their kids look on as we set up Dreamtime.
Scott had surprised Diana with a balloon ride for their 20th anniversary.
Peeking in the mouth, while their children snap photos through the top of the envelope.
Ready to go, Diana and Scott pose with the crew as we depart from Leshara.
Scott watches to make sure we're really flying.
And as the crew releases us, we head up (straight up) into the sky.
We were joined by Steve, Rich, and Matthew (not pictured).
We went up about a half-mile before finding the west wind.
Scott and Diana preparing to receive our toast after a safe landing.
We're just east of Fremont on the edge of highway 30, having landed in the tall grass (instead of the corn!)
A toast to our new aeronauts, after 20 years of marriage. Diana and Scott, we wish you many, many more!
Naturally, you can't land next to the highway without attracting a little attention...
The deputy was unconcerned, having herself just flown a month ago, and was happy to watch our celebration.
