There is a tethered hot air balloon ride near our house and as long as NiNi can remember, she has wanted to ride it. Calls it the "air balloon" every time she sees it up and running. Goes up about 350 feet, hovers a few minutes, and then comes back down. Not terribly thrilling, but for her, the mere thought of riding it was tantalizing. In fact, each summer she would ask more than a dozen times, "When are we gonna ride the air balloon?" Then we moved! But we recently made a point to go over there...

| This is the moment when she turned to me and said, "Mommy, my dream come true!" Felt a pang of parental guilt for not taking her sooner |
