Balloon Races

Do your children ever get free balloons when visiting a store? Last week Isaac and Amy got balloons at the grocery store and we had a great afternoon playing with them with Nana.

A favorite game was balloon races. To play each person holds their balloon on the ground.
Count to three and let them go! Whose will reach the ceiling first?
Where can you get helium filled balloons for free? I've seen them frequently at Trader Joe's, as well as our local grocery store and even the craft store! If you want the fun to last more than a day you can buy Mylar balloons at the dollar store.
