Friends - This is Dawn McKenzie, Ted Gauthier's daughter. Since we're no longer taking balloon rides through flyballoons.net, I've launched Legacy Ballooning to honor my dad’s legacy and continue our family tradition. Please follow Legacy Ballooning to support Michigan's only female-owned and operated hot air balloon ride business. Thanks!

Flying in the Oxford, Mi area. Tonight we had a landowner that was welcoming us for takeoff. We had light winds and a beautiful landing. The whole neighborhood came out to help us pack up. Such a beautiful evening for flying.

Back home flying the Re/Max balloon over Highland and Springfield township this evening. The fall colors are just beginning.

It's time to pat ourselves on the back, now that the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta is coming to a close.

On Thursday Travis Gauthier your Won second place in group B.

On Friday I Won second place in group F.

The groups are arranged by the size of your balloon. It's nice to be rewarded after working hard to get to a Target and then going home with a little cash in your pocket. There were approximately 550 balloons this year with more than 300 balloons in the competition.

Here are a few photos that were taken from my balloon as we approached the target this morning.
