"Where is it going?"

We had an absolute wonderful long weekend! I had no school on Friday or Monday and the weather was beautiful! We started our weekend out on Saturday with a fun monkey business party at Gracie and Shiloh's cousin Liv's birthday party. All of the girls had a blast sliding down a water slide at Livi's house. Triston, a.k.a. Bubba Joe, wasn't feeling the fun. It must have been a girl thing! Sunday was Natti's birthday party at Marmon Valley Farms. The kids had so much fun feeding the deer, taking a hayride, and riding ponies! Shiloh got right on that horse and held on tight. She didn't want a thing to do with petting him but she sure knew how to get in that saddle! It was just an awesome time for the girls-just enjoying life! We left the farm on Sunday with our hands full of cake, cookies, and balloons. Gracie and Shiloh love balloons just like most other kids but what they love most about helium filled balloons is letting them go. We traveled all the way home from past Marysville with 2 balloons only to get home and let them go. Balloons in the car in the hands of a 3year old and 16 month old are never a good idea. We couldn't get home fast enough!
Anyways, we got home and the girls had to have a release party. We prepare for the lift off and Shiloh is so excited she squeals and Gracie is jumping around to see these balloons travel away. It was a rocky start because the helium was wearing off a bit so the girls had to start clapping and cheering for the ballons-as if that was powering them. Well Mama cheered too because it wouldn't be a ballon lift off marty without the mama cheering! Finally, the wind lifts them up and they take off. After they were in the sky a bit we just stood there watching them travel away and get smaller and smaller. I asked Gracie where she thought they were going to. Gracie told me that Shiloh's balloon was going to China (you can tell what we loved watching just recently). I thought that was pretty cool of her but then she got even cooler and said,
"mine isn't going to China Mama-My balloon is going to worship Jesus!"
That rocks Gracie!!
Makes sense-doesn't it?
