We started the day with an extra dose of terrific when Pilot McKenna brought her hot air balloon and basket into camp for everyone to discover. We climbed aboard her basket, investigated the envelope (balloon part), and many even got to hit the burners to let off a blast of flames. Due to wind she wasn't able to inflate the envelope. We discovered that the burners are super loud and the flames are super hot. It was really cool!
