"They are here using a little, I don’t even know what you call them, chute where it fills up the balloon with air from a machine. At first, we thought we’d had to do it all by mouth, and we were scared. We tie it up, we throw it in a net, and they have these huge nets that we’re filling up, just our two little groups. This is crazy to think about."
