An Autumn Balloon Adventure

Flying High

Now that Avery and Emily had a hot air balloon, they could accompany Winston and Saphira's family on their autumn adventure up north....
Picture
Before the dragons flew off, they had given Avery a map so they could all meet up in the same place.
Picture
Picture
Picture
They flew over the mountain landscape...
Picture
...watching out for their friends.
Picture
"Look! Down there!"
Picture
"Looks like they are waiting for us over there."
Picture
And they descended to join their friends...

Take Out in the Woods

When Avery and Emily arrived at the designated meeting place, the dragons were already there. They had flown ahead to pick up some lunch.
Picture
Emily and Avery joined their friends at the picnic table...
Picture
"I hope you all enjoy this, because there won't be any more fast food up in the wilderness."
Picture
Picture
Picture
Winston was studying the map...
Picture
While the children enjoyed their lunch.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
"After lunch we will start to head further north, and I think from now on we all need to fly together."
Picture

Into the Wilderness

The dragons and the twins headed north together....
Picture
It was late in the autumn and most of the trees were already bare, but it was still beautiful...
Picture
The dragons flew alongside Emily and Avery in their balloon.
Picture
Picture
The four little dragons also flew alongside...
Picture
..but they didn't have the same stamina as their parents, so they took turns resting in the balloon with the twins...

Disaster!

Avery, Emily and the dragons were enjoying their flight up along the shore of Lake Superior, when Winston suggested it was getting to be time to stop for dinner.
Picture
So they directed their balloon to head to shore...
Picture
...and look for a good place to land.
Picture
But a sudden gust of wind sent them into the trees.
Picture
Their balloon burst...
Picture
...leaving the basket hanging precariously in the branches.
Picture
Picture
"Don't worry.  Saphira and I will get you down."
Picture
Picture
"Just try not to move around too much for now."
Picture

Sunset on the Beach

The dragons rescued Emily and Avery out of the tree, but the sun was already starting to go down by the time they managed to untangle the basket out of the branches and bring it out on the beach...
Picture
"So what are we going to do now that the balloon is broken?"
Picture
Saphira pulled out another red balloon. "Well, it's a good thing I brought extras." 
Picture
And she proceeded to blow it up....
Picture
Picture
Picture
"Now can continue with our trip tomorrow."
Picture
"I think we need to celebrate that no one got hurt, and that we have a new balloon, and we can continue with our adventure tomorrow," and Winston started handing out ice cream.
Picture
Then they all sat down to watch the sun set. 
Picture
Picture
"Yes, tomorrow will be another day...."
