#125 Balloon Launch

Today the family and I held a balloon launch. Ten balloons all attached with a laminated card that directed the receiver to this blog in hopes that we can see exactly how far the balloons had traveled, the odds are pretty slim that someone will find them but you never know. The kids thought it was pretty cool and were hoping one would go as far as the North Pole.

Update: One of the balloons was found in Maniwaki, Quebec! That's over 650 miles! Most likely it traveled over two of the Great Lakes. A big thanks to whoever found it and took the time to post the comment. I would love to know more about how you found it?
