Ashlynn has always wanted to try her hand at balloon twisting, but she's not sure whether she can blow them by mouth, which is the way she'd prefer to inflate them. Her cheeks expand so big when she blows really hard, and she's afraid it will hurt if she pushes them too hard. She's also trying this at the end of a long day of blowing other things, so she's not sure her abdominal strength is at its peak. So she decides to start with the larger, slightly easier 350, and measures the pressure. While her first try only manages to inflate her pouches, she quickly learns the pulling technique to form the first bubble. She manages to get it pretty well along, but then realizes that at such pressures it is harder to take another breath in while maintaining the pressure in the balloon. She switches to the check valve, and manages to get it all the way inflated. In order to not over-stretch her cheeks, she decides that she needs to inflate the 260 with the foot pump. She looks forward to trying some more "cheek buster" balloons once she has had a chance to rest her lungs and face.
