We watched some videos on youtube, there is plenty that show how to set up balloon and how to fly it properly.

D. made a painting (crayons and watercolor) of an "animal-themed" balloon with him and his sister on board :)

I'm waay behind on my postings, but I'll try to catch up in the following week since we did a lot of stuff and I'd like to share it very much.
