I have discovered that you are never really too old for balloons – I am sure there are readers out there who would agree with me! Adults can have as much fun playing balloon volleyball as children can. So, when the balloon games come out at our school, sometimes the teachers have more fun than the students! That is a good thing! 🙂
Today, 61 days ’til 40. I pause for a moment and am thankful when adults can let go and allow themselves to have as much (or more) fun as our students!

Growing old is mandatory. Growing up is optional.

Wonderful, wonderful image, 400!!! And yes, balloon ‘bouncing’ can also be a tremendous reliever of stress…I recommend for both young and old! Not very costly, either, and if the balloon should break, one can always blow up another! Hoping you have a Merry ‘vacation’, with loads of rest and lots of play!

Thank you, this was fun to photograph, but I had to get a lot of bad photos first… and even this one is not 100%, but the best I was able to do! 🙂

This is one of the best aspects of being an adult: appreciating the fun that you used to take for granted as a child! I love bubbles as well as balloons. 🙂

The thing I love most about balloons (and candles for the matter), are the colors. While on the theme of not losing one’s childhood, while vacationing several years ago in Jamaica, I had the inexpressible joy of launching a water-filled volley of balloons onto the boat (read very large boat) of one Aristotle Onassis. The scantily clad women on board were, shall I say, not suspecting such a display an occurrence. Man – it was SO MUCH FUN!!! I LOVE balloons!!!

I love balloons too! Hmm, it seems like you were not well-behaved with balloons in your past!!!! 🙂

I started playing this with my sons after shouting for the 1000x, “no ball throwing in the house!” it’s fun for them and for me. All goes well until one of them dives onto the couch to smack the balloon.
