Late Nights, Early Mornings, and Some Big @$$ Balloons

Good afternoon!  We've been working into the late hours of the nights and waking in the early morn getting ready for you all to arrive.  With your fearless leaders arriving today to start the Leadership Training Week AESOP is finally starting to feel real! At 4pm we'll be having a big ole BBQ at 280 while sharing big hugs and stories with all the leaders. To prepare for the beginning of Leadership Week we rose at 5:30 am to see the EPIC hot air balloons lift off at the 20th Annual Great Falls Balloon Festival in Lewiston! With tiny eyes and lots of yawns, we arrived downtown just in time to see the balloons  inflating... and it was incredible! 

Check out some of our pictures from the last few days!
