Claire decided she wanted to make a hot air balloon. Well, Yaya (my mom, Ellen) was staying for the weekend at the time. When Yaya's here, projects are a major business. Claire and Yaya got to work, made sketches, and started to make a working prototype. Here is the final project. It turned out really good! You could put a blow dryer in the hole on the top piece and it would actually blow up the "balloon" part! I have a movie of it I will attach. Claire couldn't just make the hot air balloon, she also made crash helmets, safety-first, of course. Claire and Yaya modeled the helmets for me so you could see how neat they are. If you can't tell, they are lined for comfort too. In the one picture, she's holding her travel box. It has emergency supplies, snacks, water, note paper and pencil, map, along with many other essential items while flying in a hot air balloon. (It's still packed in her room, if you need it the next time you're flying in a hot air balloon.)
Claire amazes me with the things she thinks of..... Right now we are making a catalog of all the Nevada license plates we see as we drive around time, just because it should be done. (It doesn't matter the DMV has these records already, Claire thought they needed to be written out, just in case.)
