Hot Air Ballooning:

A Child's Hot Air Balloon Experience

Once upon a time...

...a little girl named Alex and her little sister named Tori went hot air ballooning. Their

uncle was the pilot and his name was Shane Cory.

It was four o’clock in the morning we had to hurry and get ready and take showers

and wear something warm. It was going to be cold outside. After we got ready we were

on our way to pick up the other family we didn’t know that were going ballooning with us.

When we got to the motel they were staying in across town it was five forty-seven. We

picked them up and took them to the take off spot.

My sister and I helped our uncle air up the balloon...

...it took about an hour to get every thing ready for the trip. It was freezing out side the

person that was going to be following us in a vehicle on the ground so we wouldn’t get

lost name was Sean.

We were ready for take off we all jumped in the basket Shane started the burners

and we started to rise. We rose higher and higher. Soon we were two hundred feet in

the air it was cold out side but the burners kept every one warm. We could see the

whole city! People in their yards or walking and even driving were waving at us.

We had a blast.

It was getting later so it was getting hotter...

...we had to land soon. The wind was getting bad and it was hard to find a spot to land.

We needed to get lower for a better chance. There was a park ahead what a relief we

landed in the park Sean was there before us we packed the balloon back up.

I Earned My First Flight Certificate!

Before we left we had a snack. Since it was my first time and I was Shane’s niece

(part of the family), he made me drink sparkling water like a dog in a cup off the ground.

Then he drenched me in the rest of the sparkling water. I started laughing. We ate

snacks there was crackers with cheese, little bite sized sandwiches, and soda, there

was wine too (but only the adults had that).

When we were done eating we took the other family back to there motel, Then we

had to go fill up the propane tank for the next hot air balloon ride. After we went back to

my uncles house, when we got there it was twelve twenty five. It was time for me to

take a nap.

All in all I had a great time ballooning and any one out there that read this who

has not gone should go. And parents don’t be afraid to take your children along. They

will be safe. To let you know my cousin Dakota went ballooning when he was three

months old. My cousin Tanner is four and he goes all the time.

I love ballooning and I cant wait to go again.
