This beach ball is bigger than me! It's 6 feet tall and humongous. I've never seen an inflatable this big before. The directions say to inflate it using a hair dryer on cold or an air mattress pump, but I only have a bellows pump.

15 minutes in, and I can see why they said to use something automatic. My bellows is taking forever! All of this pumping and stomping have me working up a sweat, but I can't even get the beach ball fully inflated! This mega beach ball nearly takes up my entire living room, vaulted ceilings and all. I'm sweating and totally flabbergasted at how massively ginormous this inflatable is.

There's no way I can pump it all just with my legs, so I have to rotate and use my arms to pump it harder. Pumping fast or hard doesn't speed up the process. I'm really working up a sweat, and I can't miss my delivery, so I keep stomping away on the bellows and wipe the sweat off with my crop top, hoping I can finish in time. I get the beach ball just almost fully inflated, but this is not a job for one tiny woman to do alone. I'll need to recruit help next time to get it fully inflated. When I finally stop after half an hour of non-stop inflating, the beach ball is 90% blown up and so big it blocks me entirely from the camera view! I need to find a friend to hold the beach ball still while I work the bellows next time. I was no match for this super giant inflatable, but I can't wait to play with it!
