Palldin, I hate to differ with you...but we raised two boys. Our youngest would have definitely pulled something like this. His son, now 6, spent the summer with us. Not only would our grandson have taken off in the balloon, he would have built it first, given the science and supplies. True, we did keep an extra eye on both of them...but still...kids are kids, and some are much more daring than others.
I had 4 boys, keeping your eye on a 6 year old is like nailing jello to the wall....

That is the kind of kid that I am, and I had brothers and friends who would help, and I raised one of them, too!
