Hot air balloons

I have had a fascination with hot air balloons for a very long time. Someday I really hope to ride in one. The library brought in a team of pilots to educate kids on how they work, how they fly, inflate and take care of the balloons. After the session we were able to watch them inflate a balloon and get really close to it. The propane torch was louder than expected and scared the boys, but we still all had fun. And I still hope to ride in one some day!
