The Hot Air Balloon Ride

Today my school and I had a hot air balloon ride on our school field. Kruz, Laekin, Havana and I were waiting in line to have a ride on the big red, orange and yellow hot air balloon. The line was going very slowly. As we were waiting, I saw a penguin. It was a teddy. Slowly the balloon was coming down with the other children. I felt anxious because we thought it would hit me. Once the kids hit the ground, the penguin went under the basket and got squashed. It was my turn. My heart was beating. My body was shaking. I put my foot on the step that was on the balloon’[s basket and I jumped in and looked at everyone through the gap. The man was very kind to me when he felt me shaking. He pushed on the button then flame and fire came out of the flamer. I looked out the space and onto the ground. Suddenly I started to see the balloon hover above the ground. I was freaking out at the start. Once we were up as high as we could, I looked down and the other kids looked like little ants. Laekin was freaking out too. I didn’t want to go down but I had to. I felt a big thump when it hit the ground. I jumped out said thank you and walked away.
