Today at six in the morning I got up and ready to go...help setup a hot air balloon and launch it with some good friends.
We met up with good friends called Robert and Evelyn and followed to they're proposed launching site.
The first step to setting up a hot air balloon is putting together the basket, you start by removing the basket from the trailer and attaching the bracings and burner(the burner is the engine).The second step is to roll out the balloon material and attach it with the ropes to the basket.
The third step is to have passengers and a trusted pilot.
When the crew where trying to work out who should go then the pilot(Robert) suggested Dad and me go up with him they agreed.
So Dad and me got to go up in a hot air balloon.
It was one of the most amazing things I have done in my life, it was weird seeing all these people from so much higher they looked smaller than toys at that height!
You are probably thinking I saw people like that when I flew on the plane to get here, no I have never seen people so small with so much clarity.
It is just so peaceful up there besides the barking dogs, I felt like I had escaped life and was floating over watching but unable to be seen, touched or heard.
Thats it for now bye!
