I posted a story earlier about a Colorado boy who climbed into his parents helium balloon and took off. This has been national news all day, while police and military tried to figure out a way to resue him without crashing the balloon. When it finally touched down, the boy was no where to be found. This was devastating news to his parents, especially when witnesses said they saw something fall out of the balloon during the infamous flight. So, I decided to delete my post, thinking it was in bad taste at this point. Things didn't look good. BUT, here's the breaking news:
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – A 6-year-old Colorado boy feared to have floated off in a helium balloon has been found safe at his home, hiding in a cardboard box in the garage attic. Sheriff Jim Alderman turned to reporters during a news conference and held thumbs up and said, "He's at the house." Alderden said an investigator on the scene saw the boy and he was fine.
He said the boy apparently has been in the attic the whole time.

update: The story is a hoax? What the heck?!

All this happened within miles of our home. What a wonderful ending to a seemingly tragic story. I was so relieved. It's stories like this that make you want to hug your children (and grandchildren) a little closer.
BTW - I mailed your package yesterday. I hope it gets there by Saturday.
I personaly loved this story but my husband was watching the news today, and everyone is calling it a hoax..So sad..I don't believe it was, and some one said, "and what were those boys doing out of school?" Hello people have you heard of home school? sheesh! :D
