“I think it would’ve been really funny to see her up in, up in a balloon.”

The other — another story is I took my grandma out to a car show in Cedar, Michigan ’cause my dad was — had a car in the show. And they had one of those like tethered balloons where you could — they’d take you on a ride. I’m doing air quotes right now which you can’t see, but. So, you get in the basket, and it goes a certain number of feet in the air, floats around for a minute and then they, you know, take you back down. And I remember that I s- — I asked my grandma if she wanted to do that. She’s — this was, this was probably just a couple of years ago maybe, and she’s, you know, got her walker and you know, she’s not, not super mobile, but she was like, “Oh, yeah, let’s go do that!” She was like so excited to do it, and we were so bummed because they had just ended the, the rides and so like the — when we, when we got there and saw it up in the air, that was like the last ride that they were doing for the day. So we were, we were pretty bummed because I think it would’ve been really funny to see her up in, up in a balloon, but maybe another time.
