have you guys saw any of the sky lanterns?
These things are so cool.
They are basically hot air balloons made with biodegradable fireproof tissue, bamboo, wax and cardboard.
They range in sizes from 2 feet tall to 10+ feet with the common ones being about 3 feet.
They will go up over a mile and travel out several miles depending on weather.
I like to launch them down at the lake and use my green pointer to really light it up.
At a fireworks get together in march we launched 35 of them all at once and it was wild looking.
At night they look like a big slow moving orange ball in the sky.
During the day if the sun it bright and hitting them right they look like a silver ball even though they are white.
next year they will have different colors.
You can Google them or you-tube search.
here is a link I have on my page where I sell them around the 4th.

I did not want to post it until after the 4th so it would not look like I was spamming.
