Water slide and balloon fun with Slow-motion video

     Today was scorching hot so me and a couple friends decided to get wet! Then, I had the greatest idea in the world! I decided to put a kiddie pool under our slides and we would slide down the slides into the refreshing water! Okay, so how would we get the kiddie pool full with air? We were using a balloon pump and it took 10 minutes to fill a tiny bit of one of the 3 tubes! Then, the pump broke!!!! We tried to ask the parents to bring a vacuum with reverse so we could fill the pool with air, but they refused and most of the parents didn't have reverse on their vacuum cleaners! We sat and thought for a while, then we tried to use a bike pump, which didn't work.  We waited and waited to see if any of us would think of something. Then, I picked up the pool and blew into it! In 30 seconds the whole pool was full and we were ready to go! We hooked up one end of a hose to a hidden faucet in the laundry room and we put the other end in the pool. While we were waiting for the pool to get filled, we decided to try to play around with normal balloons filled with water (so they are harder to pop). The video is some slow-motion clips put together.
