As we made our way back to the van, it began to drizzle.  The Princess looked up at the sky and began to cackle.  Grampy made a comment about how nice it was for the rain to hold off until we were done so it could cool us off for the ride home.

Uncle A gave The Princess the bestest ride of her life, lunging deep and low with each step.  She cackled and grinned and grinned and cackled.

In the van, K-Bear promptly fell asleep, and Nana held her head up for the duration of the ride home.

The Princess, though, seemed more stoked than tired.  She held her balloon and babbled.  I mimicked her sounds and she smiled.

And then, holding onto the ribbon that was tied to her balloon, she said, "Rib."

I began to mimick, but she gave me a look.

"...bon."

She said ribbon.  And then grinned and giggled.  Everyone in the van heard it, and I think a few of us had to pick our jaws up off the floor before congratulating her.  This, of course, made her laugh even harder.

All in all, I'd say it was a pretty stinkin' good day.
