Hot Air Balloon Ride

Early in the morning, my school and I had a hot air balloon day on the school field.

I had to wait in a really big line because heaps of children wanted a turn. The balloon had red, yellow and orange stripes around it. It was named Wildfire.

As the line got shorter and shorter, I got nervous. Madeline, Paige and Brogan went up in the balloon with me. When it was our turn, we had to hurry because the balloon people had to hold onto the balloon because it kept going up.

As we got in the balloon, we got a fright from the flame thrower going off.

The balloon hovered above the ground. We climbed  in the balloon’s cane basket and had our turn. The basket we were in was enormous. The  balloon was enormous too.

While the balloon was lifted with ropes and lifted into the air, I was excited. The balloon was carefully going up to the sky and in the air. We didn’t go up that high, though. As the balloon was in the sky, it was floating gracefully. When our turn was finished, we climbed out of the balloon. We were so happy.  Yay! that was my first time in a hot air balloon.  

It was so much fun riding in the balloon because it was my first time.
