Rollover bump just in case,

We're planning for the afternoon into the evening on Saturday the 9th. Need to work out a dinner location if people want to. Some are possibly bringing older children because of the family environment, so we'll keep that in mind.

Umm, okay so here's the deal.

There's storms all over Kansas today. (nowhere else mind you, just Kansas >:| )

Usually, Hot Air Balloons and storms don't mix. I can't get ahold of the organizers at the only contact number they gave, so I have no idea if it's still going on.

We're trying to think of an alternate plan here beacuase we don't want to cancel, so if you have any quick ideas, now's the time.

Possibiles: Topeka Zoo, Capital building, ..... dunno.

Trying to contact everyone now. I've talked to Chris(givemeashot) and he is calling Trevor(youngnova), Tried calling Caleb, but he didn't answer. Guess we'll see.

We haven't recieved full confirmation or contact info from others...

Once again we, Briz & Wave are going. Maybe the balloons will be up maybe they won't but we're gonna give it a shot. Here's hoping.

Here are a few photos from the rally:

We almost gave up bc the wind was too strong for a launch and the pilots had said they were not even going to set up for the "glow" at the end. We were leaving the park when we saw that one of the balloons was being filled. So we went back and a few decided to fill them up afterall. YAY
