" Have you ever dreamed of being carried into the sky by a giant bouquet of colorful toy balloons?

That's the idea behind cluster ballooning.  The pilot wears a harness, to which a cluster of large, helium-filled balloons are attached.  Control is achieved by releasing ballast to ascend, or by bursting balloons to descend. "

What happens if you burst too many balloons ? [xx(]

    Scarey, but looks fun if you don't think to much about the possibilities!

    Title:   Up, Up And Away


    (j. webb)

    Would you like to ride
    In my beautiful balloon ?
    Would you like to glide
    in my beautiful balloon?
    We could flow among the stars
    Together you and I
    For we can fly
    For we can fly

    Up and away
    In my beautiful
    My beautiful balloon

    The world's a nicer place
    In my beautiful balloon
    It wears a nicer face
    In my beautiful balloon
    We can sing a song
    And sail along the silver sky
    For we can fly
    Up and away
    In my beautiful
    My beautiful balloon

    Suspended under a twilight canopy  
    For we We'll search the sky for a star to guide us
    If by some chance you find yourself loving me
    We'll find a cloud to hide us
    Keep the moon beside us

    Love is waiting there
    In my beautiful balloon
    Way up in the air
    In my beautiful balloon
    If you'll hold my hand
    We'll chase your dream across the sky
    For we can fly
    For we can fly

    Up and away
    In my beautiful
    My beautiful balloon

    Up, up and away
    Up, up and We'll search the sky for a star to guide us
    If by some chance you find yourself loving me
    We'll find a cloud to hide us
    Keep the moon beside us

    Love is waiting there
    In my beautiful balloon
    Way up in the air
    In my beautiful balloon
    If you'll hold my hand
    We'll chase your dream across the sky
    For we can fly
    For we can fly

    Up and away
    In my beautiful
    My beautiful balloon

    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away
    Up, up and away can fly

    Yeah,  Heights have never bothered me,

    looking as far as the horizon.


    Love you lots
