Applause

Enjoying sun and hoops on my birthday. Life is wonderful!

Children applauded me at the park today.

I went to Ueno to visit the elephants and then carved myself a corner of the playground and practiced with my minis. I am not very good with them yet, and learning is so much fun. I anticipated a happy hour of messing around. I was using the hoops Beth gave me so that was going to be extra special.

But even practice looks impressive when you’ve got pink hair and it wasn’t long before I had an audience of about 10 elementary school kids on their holidays. Passersby paused to gawk, too, but the kids stuck around for a good 20 minutes laughing and clapping loud and long as I flailed through new tricks, improved old ones, dropped hoops, laughed at myself, and simply enjoyed playing.

Thanks for the birthday pressie, little ones.
