Balloons

Many of you may or may not know that we own a balloon business.  We do a lot of transporting and decorating with balloons.  It will be interesting to see how the helium shortage affects this.  There is a lot you can do with air-filled balloons, but there is a special magic about a balloon that floats.  I hope they can figure things out.  Anyway, here are the younger kids helping me deliver some balloons.  Our can was full of 90 balloons at the time.  As soon as you open the car door you can smell latex.  Strange.  Anyway, they are troopers and always willing to help us.

Funny Balloon Delivery

So Shane got a call on Saturday from a guy in California. He was a huge Laker fan and his co-workers at an Orem office were huge Jazz fans who had been doing their fair share of smack talking. He ordered 2 deliveries to happen today. I did the first and I will do the second this afternoon. It was hilarious. This is what they had us do:

26 balloons that were purple, yellow, and white for the Lakers. We made sure they were well inflated and filled some with confetti in case they chose to pop any Laker balloons. On the white balloons he had us write different things like "Lakers rock...Jazz", etc. Then we had 10 balloons of Light blue and Dark Blue that we underinflated so they would kind of float limply. We put them on shorter strings as well. Some we just filled with air so they would sit on the ground. Shane revealed he is a Laker fan, so somehow, I ended up having to wear Shane's Kobe jersey to do the delivery!

What I won't do for the business! Anyway, even though I was rooting for the Jazz, this was still super funny!

Our Business Blog

We just started a blog for our business. If you need any party supplies or balloons let us know. We don't carry everything in stock, but we are usually cheaper than the local party stores, especially for balloons. A link to our website and blog are on this blog. Our main website has a link to our store. It is still a work in progress and we are working on rebuilding it, but hopefully you can find your way around.

Our Business

Kristine didn't know that we do more than balloons. I'm a dork for not filling everyone in. We can pretty much get any party supply you need. Our website is www.balloonstothemax.com/store and you can see some of what we can get. We don't have everything up yet, but this will give you an idea. Pretty much, if you let us know what you are looking for we can see what we can do. Let us know if you need anything, and if we can't get it...it is ok to go to Zurchers. We have gone there too! =)
