The Yellow Birthday Balloon

At Will's birthday party I had tied a bunch of balloons on the fence around the pool. As Luke was taking them down, one of them escaped. Will looked on as his his yellow balloon floated higher and higher up in the sky and eventually, out of sight. Sweet Aunt Terri told him that on her next flight she would find the balloon, roll down the window on the plane and get it for him. Over a week later, the next time we saw her, the first thing he asked her was "did you get my balloon?" Ok, who would have thought a 3 year old would remember about the darn balloon!? Fortunately Aunt Terri is quick on her feet and informed him that Yes! She had gotten the balloon! But unfortunately she had put it in Uncle Mike's car and he was at work. She promised him that next time she saw him she would bring him back the balloon. That night she and Mike stopped by, and lo and behold, returned the balloon to Will! He was so excited! That Aunt Terri is pretty talented to be able to fly planes and retrieve balloons all at the same time!
