Poor youngest. She is used to a daily photo, but here are more of the balloons. She will have to think of them as a series, like with cats or flowers. I learned it is customary for one balloon to carry the American flag aloft at the beginning of the launches. I think this balloon surprised everyone when it launched, so there was a very hurried rendition of "The Star Spangled Banner" as it quickly drifted out of sight.
