Balloon AnimalsI was once given the opportunity to fly back east to visit one of my sisters. I believe that I was about 16 or so. My younger sister and I were flying alone for the first time. At first thought of this adventure we were quite excited, however as we thought about the trip, we began to feel a little anxiety. Our parents had purchased tickets that had a stop over in Chicago which is quite a large airport.
We began to discuss the things that we could do to prepare for our trip. For Christmas, my sister was given a balloon animal kit. Basically, a book of instruction, a pump, and some balloons. At our Mom's suggestion, we practiced making the animals before we left. Some of them were quite easy to produce, and we quickly learned the art of making balloons look like animals.
While on our lay over in Chicago, we brought out the balloons. My sister and I walked around giving our creations to bored children in the airport. Soon, we were surrounded by excitement and children began asking for different animals. Some of which, we didn't know how to make. We faked our way through and created many animals that may have looked like poodle's or bunny rabbit's, but I swear they were lions and kangaroos!
Eventually we arrived safe and sound at our destination. My sister and her family were very happy to see us and we were relieved to have made it through our adventure in one piece. We were sure to save some balloons for the ride home.
