where helium balloons go


We didn't really feel like a big hike. .
but we needed the exercise and we wanted to see the last of the alpine meadows in bloom. .
so we made the trek to the three brothers mountains.




Girls are so much easier to get in picture ops don't you think?


After we caught our breath ..
we ate a snack. .
took a few shots . .
and started back down. . ..


. . .and then he spotted this shiny piece of foil.
He had to see what it was of course since we are such good hikers to carry everything back out with us.
A helium balloon must have escaped the clutches of someone. .
and if they are looking for it. .
they can come claim it.
It may not hold it's air anymore ..
but then it still can make a person smile.
all for now. .

  8. Looks like you had great weather without any trail closures this year. That is wonderful! Sad to think helium balloons don't go to heaven, but then again, maybe it is a wee bit of heaven in mountain pastures.

  9. Poor Andrew was in tears that his balloon accidentally flew away from his birthday party. :( Fortunately, Aunt Em went to the rescue and came home with a few more. Amazing how such small things break a child's heart.
