How Many Balloons?

Brilyn was watching Bubble Guppies

and it was an episode on

flight. So, we talked

about flight and how balloons

fly and how many balloons it might

take to make us fly.

Then we decided to see how many

balloons it would take to

make a few of her little

friends fly.

Elephants are heavy.

Even stuffed teenie beanie elephants.

One balloon made no difference.

Neither did two!

 Nor three. Nor four.

 Five balloons give it a bit of

a lift.... but not enough

to make it fly!

 Six balloons and a boost

from Brilyn get it up, but it

comes slowly back down.

I don't know if there are enough

balloons to make

an elephant fly.

 But 4 Balloons is plenty for

a Pink Shoes Barbie!

And it takes 5 to make her little

Joey fly!

I don't know if she learned

anything from out little

science lesson or not,

but she's a bright girl.

Odds are she took it all in and knows

all about flying now!
