The Magic of California...

Tonight, we bathed the kids and headed out for an evening walk through my parents' neighborhood. The sun was setting, the temperature was ideal, the crickets were chirping, and we were having a perfectly wonderful time.
Just when we didn't think things could get any better, Savannah pointed out a bunch of balloons high up in the sky. We all admired them way off in the distance.
I suddenly realized the balloons were losing altitude & appeared to be headed our way. I kicked into high gear & ran down the street, trying to gauge the speed & direction of the falling balloons.
Somehow, they landed RIGHT IN THE STROLLER!
Savannah was thrilled beyond belief, and she even had an audience of clapping neighbors who had witnessed the entire scene from their front porch.
What a fantastic experience to have balloons delivered right from the sky!

That's amazing! Truly a gift from the heavens. What a righteous Savannah. P.S. I love Rod's stance.

Wow! I wish I could conjure that kind of magic from the skies of California.

Looks like you're having fun! We've missed you here. Anna and I went to the pool 5 times last week and we wished you guys were there. Although, I'd rather be at the beach than the UP pool as well.
