Slides

As you know, Bluet loves slides. While we were in New York we took her to Tompkins Square park where there was a lady making balloon animals and other things, just for fun. Bluet quickly clocked that this woman was giving away the balloon creations, so stood there and patiently watched while the lady made a balloon flower. She then took the flower gladly, and ran around the park like a crazy person, taking it several times on the slide.

Then  she fell over and burst one of the leaves of the balloon flower, rendering it lopsided. So she returned and stood patiently by the lady until she fixed it by re-twisting a balloon. But sadly the flower now had a leak and slowly the stem shrank. This upset Bluet who returned to the lady one last time, and had the stem replaced with a plastic stick. Bluet ran around some more, and the flower looked worse and worse, and she got more and more upset and had to be bribed to leave and go home with vegan ice cream.
