$165 for Scenic Hot Air Balloon Ride ($330 Value)

Balloon adventures begin with balloon inflation and preparation, which takes about 30 minutes. Next, an FAA-certified pilot mans the balloon for the duration of the flight, which lasts for about an hour. Flying in the fleet of balloons, up to 24 fellow passengers can take photos of the surrounding countryside from up to 3,000 feet above the ground. The full balloon-ride experience lasts 3.5–4 hours, including transportation to and from meeting and launch locations.

Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloons

Offering sunrise and sunset excursions, Heart of Texas Hot Air Balloons floats riders through the clouds on brightly colored, eight-story-tall buoys of heated air. After venturing to the launch site, guests will meet the day's FAA-certified captain, crew, and up to 24 fellow passengers. Air wranglers impart a formal safety briefing as balloons slowly take shape, filling with hot air supplied by area high-school debate teams. A blast of burners lifts leisure seekers into the air, drifting through the blue sky for approximately an hour, bandied about by the day's prevailing winds. Balloons will be followed on the ground by chase crews who rendezvous at the chosen landing site for a congratulatory postflight celebration. Recently christened sky devils will also receive a commemorative flight certificate that can be used as a valid passport.

The Groupon Guide to: Tricking Your Kids into Eating Vegetables

Kids don't want to eat vegetables because vegetables aren't fun. Make legumes laughably fun with these tips for preparing vegetables:

  • Put black beans on circular slices of potato to give your kids healthier "chocolate-chip cookies."

  • Cut corn off the cob and offer their picky palates some "rotten goblin teeth."

  • Mash yams and your young ones will be thrilled to eat "a very sick man's innards."

  • An avocado kind of looks like a hand grenade.

  • Remove the strings from celery. Kids will voluntarily eat celery if it's not strung like some kind of ridiculous violin.

Mom, can I have seconds of goblin teeth?
