Incredibly beautiful experience. Amish Country Balloon Tours is operated by Bill and Sandy Cloninger of Chagrin Falls Ohio. Bill is one of the WORLD'S top ranked Hot Air Balloon Pilots (he holds at least one World Record that we know of). They also sell and distribute balloons, plus teach the art of Balloon Piloting and crewing. Wonderful people! The beautiful balloon is named "Sundance" (our name is Anpetu Wi Au Wacipi...dance with the sun).
Very fitting that the flight would land in an Amish farm field, and that we had an entire family come out to see what was up. Thank you to our friend Connie White (the beautiful lady crew member) for arranging our visit. We'll upload more photos after we actually go up in the balloon!
