Tropical (Inflatable) Paradise – Austin, Texas

Life is so much simpler when you’re a kid. I’m sure other parents have experienced giving a gift to a one-year-old. The kid likes the box more than the toy. What’s a tropical paradise? A giant inflatable at a park. What else do you need on a hot Austin summer day?

This was from the neighborhood’s 4th of July festivities on Monday. Beyond the hot dogs and burgers, much of the activities were kid-focused. This year, they got this inflatable slide and bounce house.

I applied a film effect to this image — although not a standard Fujifilm preset. This Capture One Kodak Ektachrome mid-70s (blue) style seems to create a vintage summer-like feel.
