Recently Lucas had a friend's birthday party on a late Saturday afternoon. Mats left to get a pizza for dinner, which left Henrik and I home alone. We had a mission: to make a gluten-free, yeast-free pizza. But before we could get started, Mats called and told us to look outside- a hot air balloon was going by.
Henrik and I rushed out to our back yard in time to see a rainbow-colored balloon floating peacefully over the tree tops. We could hear the whoosh of the fire as the balloon was refilled. As it continued its journey past our house, Henrik had the idea to follow it to see where it lands. In a few seconds we were on our bikes - we were balloon chasing!
We went to the main bike path and followed it towards the balloon. To our right, a second balloon floated over an open field. It had an "M" on it.
We continued on the path, trying to keep up with the balloons. At times they looked like they were going to land, only to rise up again and continue on.
Finally, we had to bid farewell to the balloons.
We returned home to our pizza project, but Henrik and I had to fuel up on a bit of cereal first, after our big adventure.
