Please don't pop!

Have you ever walked on water? Well, I had the chance to this last weekend. K, this was pretty much the FUNNEST thing that I have ever done! They actually have these all over China, but this was the first time that I had seen it. Brielle and I were the only ones in our group that did it, and it was a blast. It is extremely hard to stand in the bubbles. Once you figure out how to maintain balance though, you can do it. So while Brielle and I were out there we had quite the audience. There were probably 60 Chinese people standing there watching, laughing at us, and taking pictures, it was awesome. We were in the bubbles for about 10 minutes. 















This was the moment when I realized (from the people on land waving their arms at me frantically), that the Chinese people forgot to attach me to the cord!! It had to push my way back to shore so that they could attach me!!!

Carly, this looks SO FUN! You are too brave. I got nervous looking at the first photo with you in the plastic with no air. Do they have OSHA in China??

Any idea how we can order one of these? Can't you see the family at the lake? Glad you are having a great time. Love ya, Marlane

k, I have to admit that the first picture of you without it blown up, kinda stresses me out!!! I don't know if I could do it without feeling you know, that long word I don't wanna figure out spelling right now, but afraid of closed in spaces! ha ha. That looks awesome though, and I'm sure I'd love the chance to try that out!!! I'm glad you got attached and didn't get lost at sea! ha ha
