Launching the Lanterns

I'm too tired to put together some pics from Ellie's birthday (plus I still have to blog about the visit from some special friends last week), so hopefully this video will suffice for now. If you can't watch the video, I'll just let you know that the lanterns worked and exceeded our expectations. I heard from a friend that our lanterns made her Facebook newsfeed from friends who had either spotted them or caught one as it drifted back down to earth! While it wasn't a windy day, they nevertheless traveled over half a mile from the launch site!
