We kind of have a rule in my car that BusyBoy and GigglyGirl cannot take balloons home from restaurants or playdates.  They can play with them at the restaurant or playdate but not in the car.  So, they have to release the balloons and watch them fly away.  (We do this because they get in my way of seeing out the windows while driving and to avoid loud popping sounds that might startle any one of us.)

A few weeks ago, they had the opportunity to release balloons again.  This time they had a long conversation with the balloons as they flew away:

“Bye Bye Balloons!  See you later!”
“Have fun on your trip!”
“Have a good trip to the moon!”
“GigglyGirl, mine is not going to the moon.  Mine is going to Mars!”
“Oh, have a good trip to Mars!”
“Bye Red and Blue Balloons.  Take care of each other.”
