Someone had an idea to build a hot air balloon!!
So Papi found a plan and we went to the shop to buy what we needed.
We all helped to cut it out and stick the pieces together.
It was going to be a pretty big balloon!
Here we are with our balloon.
We thought we would give it a test run to see if it would fly.....and it did.
We waited until it was a little cooler outside so we could fly it again.
Papi was in charge of lighting the fire.
It flew quite high and a bit too close to the pine tree.
Lucky it was still attached to a kite string so we could pull it back down as it was going to fly away!!
