The girls enjoyed a wonderfully scenic hot air balloon ride this afternoon!!
They flew SO high that when they looked down, all the people looked JUST like ants!!
There were fierce winds to navigate….Oh, the thrill! The excitement!!
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!
Somehow Mark’s ride wasn’t quite as eventful…. ;-)
…. but it was still a LOT of fun!!

Dear Valerie,
I don’t think that I moved an inch! We need many more balloons.
Love,

Dear Valerie,
One more thing… how about using that laundry basket for, you know, laundry?
Love,
Mark

I’ve always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon. And I have a few kids who I know would enjoy this flight of imagination.

On no Mark, that Laundry Basket is used much better as a Hot Air Balloon!
(Laundry? We don’t need no stinkin’ laundry!)

What fun! Big M had some “boy fun” with a laundry basket that looked just like that. It was broken and he asked if he could SMASH it. Serious demolition. (It took up a lot less room in the trash can!)
