Create a ufo using a variety of balloons.
Fly it from the balcony and impress all the neighbors
and the Naples Airport.
First, hundreds of balloons are filled with helium and stored on the ceiling.
The 3 ft. master balloon was stuffed with a light stick before being inflated. Side ballons were attached with duct tape. Brad and Jeff are prime builders. Christi fulfills the important job of ballast.
The family begins to gather as the UFO takes shape. Betty declares that she has never had so many people in her bedroom at one time! (15)
Everyone helps as the color choices were made from the selection of balloons on the ceiling.
Uncle Tony assists in the delicate construction. Duct tape cannot be removed without breaking a balloon. Jeff begins adding the ring balloons within balloons.
The out-of-this-world construction is almost finished. Another balloon containg a lightstick is added to the object. The ring of white balloons adds to the crazy quilt of color and shapes.
Last bits of duct tape are added as we prepare to move it outside for the big launch.
