2nd runner up

Lately Mallory has been completely mesmerized by balloons. Many of you have seen this first hand. In fact, at her birthday party, we had to put the balloons outside until after cake and presents so she would not be totally distracted by them. We pretty much have to buy one any time we go to a store that has one (which I didn't realize this, but that's a whole lot of places). I love Central Market and OTB for giving away free balloons! She even tried to take one in the bathtub with her the other night.

In our house, balloon=happy baby

However, yesterday we did discover an unexpected 2nd runner up on Mallory's list of favorite things. Lori and I were taking the girls to an outdoor shopping center and wishing that we had a double stroller so they could ride together and entertain each other. Lori came up with the most genius idea!

They stayed in the wagon the entire time and were laughing and waving to people as we rode by. Needless to say, we were a bit of a spectacle as we paraded around...but they (and we) had a such a fun time. We borrowed the wagon from my sister (thanks Kel) so we brought it home with us. Let's just say we have been on a total of 4 rides in the last 24 hours!

This cooler weather is perfect for some wagon riding!
