Balloon Launch 2009!

Getting ready for take off...

Yes you read that right... 2009! We were so busy at the end of the year I never got around to sharing our balloon launch with you so I figured better late than never! After Hayden's birthday we saved quite a few of the balloons so that we could launch them up to Heaven and boy was it fun! The "helium people" told us that the balloons would only stay blown up for around 12 hours, but 3 weeks later they were still floating at the top of the garage waiting on their launch. Either the helium people weren't too accurate, or the balloons kept hearing us telling them we were going to launch them and they just kept hanging on!:) By the looks of how much helium they had lost and how skinny they were getting, I know they could hear us. They couldn't wait to take their journey through the sky! It was a perfect day for the launch. Not too hot, not too cold, sunny but not blinding, and lots of beautiful clouds for them to play in!

Up, up, and away!!!

Bye, bye, balloons... we'll see you again someday!

Doesn't it look like they are having the best time?!?

Watching them fly through the sky...

Daddy zoomed in far to get this pic. He took it right before
the balloons disappeared into the clouds! You gotta
look close to see them. They are in the very center
of the picture on top of the white cloud.
Just playing in the sky!!!

Thanks for hanging in there and waiting on us to launch you birthday balloons! We'll see you in Heaven... be ready to play!:)
