Balloon Lift-Off 2009

Each May, in celebration
of National Homes
for the Aging month,
Fairview Haven hosts a
Balloon Lift-Off.

For 2009, we had
a lovely, brilliant day.

Children from the local elementary school and others joined us
for the excitement of
watching the colorful balloons
float up into the blue sky.

We were all delighted by visits and rides from a couple of local miniature horses.

Our new patio was put to good use as we awaited the countdown to lift-off.


Delight is captured on the faces of children as they watch the balloons ascend.


A snack is an important part of the event.

Carriage rides with Taffy, the miniature horse, were popular with young and older.
