This morning Cleo, Amya and I went to the field to ride on a hot air balloon.
When we were waiting in line, Flower, Amaya’s mother, asked if Amaya could go with Cleo and me. I said, “Yes,” so Amaya went with us.
When it was nearly our turn, my heart started to beat very fast because I was so excited. The balloon we went in was yellow, orange and red. We had to be very patient because the line was massive.
When it was finally our turn, a nice lady lifted Cleo and Amaya into the cane basket. I climbed in by myself. A man pulled a lever and there was a stream of fire above our heads. It was really scary at the start but then I got used to it.
We hovered above the ground for a bit then he pulled the lever again and we went up, up, up, in the air so high that he said, “I overdid it.”
Cleo, Amaya and I all looked down. We were up very high. He pulled the lever again but overdid it again, so he said, “We'll just hang up here for a bit, shall we?”
We all said, “OK!” Madeline waved to me so I waved back. Flynn yelled out to me, “The penguin!”
I said, “I’ve got an idea.” I pulled in the line with the penguin attached to it and said, “Time to bungy jump, Mrs Penguin,” so off went the penguin. It did not go far though because the line was very short. When we started going down, I pulled up the penguin so it wouldn’t get squashed.
When we were on the ground, I felt very proud of myself because that was the first time I had been in a hot air balloon.
