Group Photo with Kids

After the balloon was packed we all got together for a group photo. What a grrrrrrrreat experience for the children and us. I'll never forget seeing all of the kids faces when they came up to see us in the balloon. Im pretty sure they wont forget it either.

Little Help from Little People

The school children of Guanajuato Mexico helped us pack the McDonald's Hot Air Balloon back into its bag.

School Kids of Guanajuato


After flying over a Guanajuato Elementry School, all of children in the school began running towards us.

Crazy Landing Spot

After taking off from a soccer field just outside of Guanajuato and flying 6 miles.... I managed to land the balloon in the exact same field. This was the most insane flights of my career. The chances of land in the exact same field is very rare. We were all in disbelief and full of excitment !!! This picture includes David, Chuck and I
