Bye Bye Balloons



At the end of the day

    I agree, so sad. Why couldn't they have played a game to pop the balloons at least?

    I thought is was interesting to see so many balloons in the trash too. That was why I was compelled to take the picture. Balloons are usually considered "happy" things, but all those balloons that were no longer needed seemed sad to me.
