Dear Blog Guy,
At my daughter’s 6th birthday party, all the kids were taping their helium balloons to a lawn chair, trying to fly. Isn’t that cute?
It depends on how many balloons they had. Some guy in Oregon attached 105 of them to his lawn chair. He came down nine hours, and a couple hundred miles later.
Seriously? Amazing! How high did he go?
Well, we have to presume he was at least above BB gun and dart-throwing range the whole time. Anyway, he made the whole trip without a barbecue grill or an above ground pool, which is pretty amazing. Deborah Lutterbeck reports:
