Chris Hemsworth and Elsa Pataky load balloons onto a private jet as they prepare to fly home to Byron Bay for daughter India’s 9th birthday
Chris Hemsworth and wife Elsa Pataky are preparing to celebrate their eldest child India Rose’s ninth birthday on Tuesday.
And it seems no expense will be spared for the birthday bash, as the couple were spotted loading a huge bunch of balloons onto a private jet in Friday as they prepared to fly home from Sydney to Byron Bay.
While Elsa was busy making sure the festive decorations remained un-popped, Chris, 37, was seen carrying one of his three children into the aircraft ahead of takeoff.

The Thor star’s bulging biceps were on full display as he carried the child up the steps and into the plane.
He wore a tight T-shirt and covered his famous visage beneath a cap.
Among the decorations carried by Elsa was a a large balloon shaped like a pony – perhaps a hint as to the theme of horse-loving India’s party.

The Hemsworth clan are known for going all-out when it comes to themed parties, having recently celebrated their seven-year-old twins Tristan and Sasha’s birthday with a flamboyant animal-themed bash.
Meanwhile, on Sunday, Chris honoured the women in his life with a special Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram.
In a post, the Hollywood actor shared a throwback photo of his wife Elsa posing with their three children, as well as a photo of himself cuddling up to his mother Leonie, 60.
‘Happy Mother’s Day to all the brilliant, hardworking, kid carrying, bar raising, husband-putting-up-with-ing woman out there!!’ the Blackhat star captioned the post.

‘We salute you,’ he added.
In Elsa’s photo, the blonde actress is seen with her hands full as she carried her twin sons Sasha and Tristan, seven, in her arms, while daughter India sat in a sling on her back.
It comes after the Fast And The Furious star spoke candidly about her decision to step away from acting at the peak of her career to raise a family.
Speaking to Jones magazine last year, Elsa said she’d selflessly put her acting career on hold after having children so her husband could focus on making movies.
‘I decided to focus on them and leave my career on the side, to just do little things here and there and try to be happy with that, even though it was my passion and I loved what I did,’ the mother of three said.
