Once the balloon is packed up passengers, pilot, and crew experience balloon glow. A feeling that can only be experienced after you have soared like a bird and touched the clouds. A traditional toast that is made after the flight is the Balloonist Prayer

The winds have welcomed you with softness,

The sun has greeted you with it's warm hands,

You have flown so high and so well,

That God has joined you in laughter,

And set you back gently into,

The loving arms of mother earth.

Gentle winds and soft landings!!
