Rainbow park

There is a park called Rainbow park in my residential area. It is not close to my home; it takes several minutes by car. One of the most amazing things that the park includes is two sliders. I think that no explanation is needed to understand the characteristics of the twin sliders. Just taking a look at the right picture is enough. Can't you believe the steep angle, can you?

My guess is that they are the steepest sliders in the world. Of course, I cannot rule out the possibility that there would be steeper slider somewhere. However, even if steeper sliders were available, it would be nothing but a fall. Not a slider for fun, although our sliders seem horrible to some people.

Today, my little son, 9 years old, and I went to the Rainbow park after he had his hair cut. This was our third time to visit the park. Whenever we went there and saw the sliders, we climbed up to the entrance of the slider and gave up sliding because of fear.

Today, however, we were different. I succeeded in sliding the smaller slider, followed by my little kid, as you can see in the right picture. The small kid is my son. We would say that we got brave. In our opinions, the thrill was not so strong as we expected it would be.

Nevertheless, we may be still cowards because we were unable to give a try to the larger slider. We found the fear way much big, as compared with the smaller one, when we were at the entrance point to the big slider. Promising to try the bigger one next time, he and I climbed down with the steps. I an not sure when the next comes to us, though.

The objective of this post is to make sure whether the codes that I wrote today work well; the codes were for the sake of controlling video files with a frame by frame movement. It seems like that everything is OK.

Bubble gum

"Dad, look. I made it." My little sun suddenly told me. I took this photo in haste.

On that day, he has been battling with bubble gum. His goal appeared to make a balloon with gum. I explained how to create it but he did not succeed. It took him a few hours, nevertheless he did not give up.

Sorry for the blurred shot, but his success developed all of a sudden and did not last more than a second. Literally within a second, the gum balloon that he was successful in making burst with a popping sound.

I was waiting for his second success, but it never came to him and me. Before long, he stopped challenging, saying "I did it, anyway."

I love his attitude that he never gives up until he achieves a goal that he once decided to reach.

That night, he was scolded by his mother at the dinner because of the leftovers. No doubt, he was not starved at all with tons of sweet gum during the day time.
