Aerogelic Hot Air Ballooning:

A Child's Hot Air Balloon Ride in Phoenix

Once upon a time...

...a little girl named Alex and her little sister named Tori went for a hot air balloon

ride in Phoenix. 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 of Phoenix! 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.
