We Have Liftoff

Tonight, Oliver ran across a nice surprise on his walk along the canal. He and his sister both love watching the hot air balloons fly over our house, but tonight the lucky boy got the chance to see the balloon actually blow up and take flight up close and personal. Needless to say, he was amazed to see something so huge take shape right in front of him. Whenever he would turn away, he would hear the flames fire and quickly turn back to see what was going on. Oliver was thrilled to wave goodbye to the balloon as it travelled skyward and he headed off for home. Further proof that you never know what we will run into when we head out for a walk!

What is going on here? Why is that thing so big?


In case you can't see it, there it is!


Up, up and away! Bye, bye, balloon!
