Red Ball Project - April 2005
You can read all about the real Red Ball Project on their site. They have pictures of its locations in Portland during the week it was here. But isn't it funny that just a few weeks after I bought my big red ball these guys decided to come to town? Bizarre! So, I decided to bring our balls together. ;-) The artist and the guy who paid to have it brought into town were both there. I wonder what they thought of the situation...
Update: I made these videos a little easier to download.
 We scoped out the area first. We saw the big red ball at Pioneer Courthouse Square, so we parked a little ways away. |
 I had the ball about half-inflated in the car and we finished the rest off where we parked. |
 The kids know some goofiness is about to go down... ;-) |
 Here's where I attempt to be nonchalant while I bounce the ball through about 4 city blocks. |
 After a while, we get to the big ball and take a picture. Here's a vid of us pulling up. |
 Here's a nice family pic. After which, I got a little ball on ball action going. |
 Eventually random people started playing with the ball as though it was part of the exhibit. |
Can she catch it? |
 Fun's over... moving on. Back to the minivan... up hill... and with bug guts on the ball... |
