We took the kids on another picnic today. This time to Minnehaha Falls. It's been years since I have been there but yet everything was super familiar once we were there.
We found a picnic table and sat down to eat first. After lunch the boys played soccer for a bit.
We brought the confetti balloons from the shower and each of the kids tied a wish to the end of one of the balloons. Once the wishes were tied, they stood together, counted down and then released them into the sky. They enjoyed watching them float into the sky getting higher and higher, smaller and smaller.
I had forgotten how cool that was to watch a balloon take off into the sky. I always wonder how far they go and what happens to them once they are done floating? Do they ever land? Does anyone ever really find these balloons or do they just disappear?
Once we could no longer see any sign of the balloons we made our way to the falls.
At the bottom of the falls and around the corner we found a spot to soak our feet and throw rocks.
Grandma Chris drove out to meet us here for a bit too!
The kids had so much fun just standing in the water throwing rocks. I think we need to add this to our list of picnic locations summer-must-do.
