Almost a Teenager

My daughter turns 13 tomorrow. We had her sleepover birthday party last night. This morning they blew up some balloons including the GIANT blue one. I could feel a photo shoot coming on. So, when the girls had all been picked up, I took this shot. I liked another one and put it in my extra album. http://365project.org/kwind/extra-shots/2012-08-24 another from the day before of a water balloon mid-explosion http://365project.org/kwind/365/2012-08-23

Wow---huge. How did they do it?

[KWind]

@klh The big balloon came from the dollar store. They used a pump to blow it and the others up.. I helped them tie them together and attach them to a big bamboo stick we have.
