Nishinomiya’s tropical paradise... That place is the Naruo Beach Seaside Park Lawn Plaza, where palm trees sway in the breeze～!(^^)!
This Nishitsu play project started with one comment:
“Since Nishinomiya switched to designated garbage bags from July, what should I do with all these black ones? I’ve got so many left over～”
And that’s how it began (*^-^*) We used those black ones and played around with an airship theme～
1. Catch as much wind as possible with the black ones and feel like an airship(^^)/
Ready to go?
“So this is how you catch the wind.”
“The kids are using the same setup as the adults! Minicchi, do your best!”
“The wind is perfect today～ I feel like I could fly～”
Ready, set, go(^^)/
A battle between a totally relaxed and an absolutely determined not to lose Though honestly, Yumacchi may not have even thought of it as a battle(^_^;)
You can see how desperate it looks even in the photo! But there’s no way Yumacchi was going to lose!
“That was super close this time! Just a little more!”Actually, Yumacchi said, “I was running really slowly, though”(^_^;)
There was that match? too, but then…
Suddenly started running back the other wayLooks like the black one got blown away
And then, as expected, a big tumble!Niko-chan really has it～ That decisive moment might become a video(^^)/
Still, the lawn is really beautiful(^^)/It’s so soft and fluffy, it feels like you’d bounce back even if you fell!We’d love for all our readers to experience it too!
2. Make an airship with the black ones! And fly it!
“Hey, hey, Shacho?? Nishitsu-dori wants to fly an airship! It’s one of my dreams! Could you make one with the black ones?”
“That’s a great idea! I’ll make it! Leave it to me! I think Nishitsu special correspondent Hamaamu-san will help too.”
We started making it in early June, and after lots of trial and error, finished it on the day!
Ta-da! Here’s the airship just before filling it with air and finishing it(^^)/
We filled plastic bags with helium gas to pack the inside full!
We did the filling work inside the tent so it wouldn’t fly away(^^)/Minicchi was a huge help!
“Still not quite enough(^^;)”
“Mama-san, have you ever sold cotton candy at festivals or something? Your hand movements are unbelievably smooth!”
“You noticed? No, of course not! I just watched really closely how they do it～Maybe I could run a cotton candy stand someday(*^-^*)”
We stuck on a photo of Nishitsu-dori, and the Nishitsu-DORI-go was complete(^^)/
“I’m so happy! Everyone!! Thank you!!!!✨ Having a dream come true is wonderful🐤🐧✨”
“Watch this～ I’m gonna fly the Nishitsu-DORI-go～Will it actually fly well? (inner voice)”
“Yaaay!!!(Is this really flying? I want it to fly higher!)”
……..This isn’t quite what we imagined! It’s so low💦 When you think of an airship, you picture it floating high in the sky, but this feels way more like flying a kite……
“Yumacchi big brother, I want this airship to fly way up high～”
“Got it～ I’ll give it everything I’ve got!”
Yumacchi gave it his all, but there wasn’t enough buoyancy～ and the balance was off～ so it ended up like this!
The airship kept flying while spinning round and round
