Achievement Unlocked - Ballooner!
Goto All PostsOne of my favorite things to do is bring Joy to others. I’m not sure why I wasn’t into balloons before, but now I am, and they are awesome!!! Here’s a little video of some of my early balloons!
Two weeks into ballooning
If you know me, the thing I’m best at is going all in, here’s me after 2 weeks of ballooning.
The genesis at 5am
- As a kid was able to make a simple balloon dog.
- Not sure why, but I didn’t do balloons till Zach was 12 (OMG - What a waste!!)
- For last 10 years people asked me if I could pull a rabbit from a hat.
- A Sunday after Zach’s 12th birthday, I woke up at 5am, and though maybe I’ll make a rabbit balloon.
- I kept doing it for the next 5 hours.
First time at the 2pm
- Came with Amelia working on my rabbit
- Kids started coming up to me, asking to make a Cow, or a Monkey, or a something else
- I’d keep repeating, I can make a dog, on the 4th try, they’d say OK - can you make me a dog
- Then I got braver, and when kids asked for UFO, I’d make something that looked nothing like a UFO, and the kid would look at me and cock their head, checking if I was trying to trick them. After 30 seconds of me holding my composure, the kid would run off thrilled with her UFO
- Then a kid asked for a bunny, and I tried making one (recall just starting out this morning), and it was aweful, but the kid was thrilled.
