Rocket Balloons

Paw Paw Day gave Madelyn rocket balloons last year. We played with them for the first time just a couple of weeks ago. They are Madelyn's new obsession. You blow up the long balloon with this air pump. Then you let go of the balloon & watch it twirl around the air. When the air is released from the balloon it makes a funny sound that the kids like. About 5 out of 10 balloons pop as they hit the grass. Some land on our roof, & others disappear. I'm sure Jon & our neighbors will come across them when cutting the grass or raking leaves... hopefully not when cleaning out the gutters! Anyways, we have a lot of fun playing with rocket balloons. It will be a sad day when they've all popped. Ansley was scared of them at first b/c of the loud noise but she is warming up to them now & laughs right along with Madelyn. Ansley likes to use the rocket balloons in a different way. She will pull all the balloons out of the bag and put them in her mouth! Sorry baby Ansley, that's a safety violation (as we say when something isn't safe)!
