Rocket Balloons



Ahhhhh, rocket balloons.  They are a summertime (or rather an anytime) staple for us.  Looking for a way to liven up the park?  Pack a bunch of rocket balloons and get ready for a good time.  Everyone loves them, from tiny babies to old men, and once you break them out, it's like you've transformed into the pied piper.  We hadn't done them for a while, so we decided to get a fresh pack and go to the park.  What fun we had!  We ran into a little girl we recognized from the library, and she joined us in the fun.  How the kids loved watching the balloons fly so high into the air, do loop-de-loops all over, then shoot back down to the ground.  An old man sitting on a nearby bench got such a kick out of the whole thing, and he helped us fish out the lost balloons stuck in trees with a long stick.  Even Catherine got into the excitement.  Any day is a good rocket balloon day in my book.
