Balloons

The balloon-lined driveway was the one Pinterest idea I wouldn't re-do. The wind blew and the balloons tangled and it wasn't as lovely as I planned.

And then I got in trouble with my Sister in Law Who Does Not Wear John Deere Pajamas for encouraging my perfect nephew to let go of a balloon (or two) so we could watch it float away. Apparently that's like murdering birds, but watching him watch the balloon float away was a happy moment.

Sorry birds.

Also: Party clean up is more entertaining when there is helium to inhale.

And: My brother taught us (and himself) that popping balloons with a dull machete is easier said that done.
