How do I create this cloud shape in Adobe Illustrator?

I have some overlapping circles to create a cloud shape. How do I erase the inner parts of the circles so I just have the outline like in the cloud in the upper right?

Hi Zack,

I believe you have to go to Pathfinder panel and "add", it's the one symbol of two little squares joined together (the first one I think) . Make sure to select all your shapes before clicking.

See if that helps and let us know! :)

Yeah the solution was actually easier than I thought. I just had to turn the line path into a rectangle and then it allowed me to 'unite' everything in pathfinder. Thanks for your answer.
