Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon
We could float among the stars together, you and I
For we can fly we can fly
Up, up and away
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 we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Suspended under a twilight canopy
We'll search the clouds for a star to guide us
If by some chance you find yourself loving me
We'll find a cloud to hide us
We'll 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 we can fly
Up, up and away
My beautiful, my beautiful balloon
Balloon...
Up, up, and away.....

As I said in another thread, if I was the judge in this case I'd sentence the dad to have "BALLOON HOAX IDIOT DAD" tattooed on his forehead.

Because, if that butthole is that desperate for attention, then by God he ought to get it.  :P

Yall know, before all this mess happened, I did see them on Wife Swap (or Trading Spouses)! LOL. And as soon as  I saw them, I was like, "I've seen them before"

They switched with a super overprotective family and the  Mayumi (?) was bickering with the swap father to let the kids have some adventure and go play. I'd LOVE to know what that man thinks now! LOL!

To be honest, I don't think Mayumi was that bad.  After the incident, I rewatched the episode (I watch Wife Swap occasionally when I am really bored) and while she wasn't the best person in the world, she honestly seemed like a pretty good person.  The husband was the one yelling at the other wife and throwing milk at her and stuff.  Honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he was an abusive husband.  One of the husband's former "apprentices" appeared on CNN a few days ago and said that while he couldn't go into detail because he's talking to the police, he did mention he had info on the husband's relationship with Mayumi and that it was clearly negative.

He also mentioned that the husband told him to make a list of fifty publicity stunts for a tv show back months aqo and that the balloon thing was on the list.  He planned this out quite a long while in advance.
