A Minion Blimp?

Well first off I have to apologize for not having an actual photo to go along with this blog post.

Mommy saw the "Despicablimp".  She didn't realize what it was until it was too late to take a picture.

There is a huge blimp flying across America with the one-eyed Minion on it from the animated movie "Despicable Me". 

Mommy saw it in Philadelphia, PA on Sunday, September 15 around 6:30pm near 2nd and Erie in Philadelphia while driving home from a birthday party.  Mommy was kinda driving thru a neighborhood where you don't stop the car to pull over to snap a picture... so, there is no official picture of Flat Lassie and Benji with the Blimp.

You will have to believe Mommy when she says she actually saw it though.

Mommy tried to demonstrate what she saw to us using her nephew's Minion toy.

Benji was all smiles watching Mommy do the demonstration with the Minion toy.


At first she didn't know what it was.  She couldn't see the entire blimp because buildings were in the way... all she saw at first was something that looked like an eye.  Then she saw yellow.  Then she saw blue.

The road kinda curved, so when she was able to see the blimp again, this time she was looking at the back of the blimp.  Butt she could see the entire blimp this time since no buildings were blocking her view, and she could tell by the butt that it was a Minion from "Despicable Me".
How in the world could Mommy tell it was a "Despicable Me" character from this view of it's butt is beyond me!


Mommy was so excited to see it --  too bad she couldn't get a picture of it.


Mommy looked it up on the internet, and there is actually a website for the  Blimp.  The website shows where the Blimp is on a map.


I (Lassie) am still upset there is no Flat Lassie and Benji Picture with the Blimp.


Have a great day!  (I wonder if Minions are related to Aliens?  Guess we should watch the movie.)

  3. Cool! You hardly ever see blimps around. I remember watching Mr. Kangaroo go for a ride on one when I was really little. I've been fascinated by them ever since.

    I'll have to ask my sister if she's seen it yet! She works downtown.

  9. WOW you got to see the one eyed ~ when I first saw the promo for the movie I thought their was only one little guy with one eye and I felt sorry for him. Then I saw the movie and there were a lot of one eyed little guys and I did not feel so bad. I look at the route and he has not flow over Cincinnati yet, but I bet he will eventually and I bet he comes into Lunken Airport because that is where all the blimps that come to my city land.
    Thanks for being a friend
