i would have put money on the fact my wife was NOT going up in that hot air balloon... she was scared to death sitting in the car with the balloon being prepared for flight in the background. she wanted my friend, bob (taking pictures on the ground) to go up with me and she would take pics... (not happening) this was a gift from me to her... she seemed excited at one time.

i asked her to sign the waiver... she said, you sign it. after a moment or two she signed her signature on the dotted line.

we walked to the balloon... i asked her to place her foot in the open and climb in... i assisted and off we went... i was floored... and very proud she had the trust in me (while being so nervous) and my past balloon experience.


a bit of persuasion:
