As I mentioned before, I worked not only inside the park but also outside of it. Work outside usually started around 10 AM. Our boss Joe or one of the managers would take one or more bounce houses from the park, load them into a truck, and Natasha and I would head to another location.

Our first trip was to a music festival!)) We ran around with flyers, handing them out to passersby. It was so much fun. We tried to finish as quickly as possible because there was so much free food from different cuisines to try at the festival!))

We finished quickly and, to the sound of live music, ran to try soups, baked dishes, seafood, drinks, and more. We ate our fill and then even stopped by Starbucks. We returned around 3 PM and worked for another 3 hours back at the park.

My second time working off-site was at a private party. A family of about 12 people organized a party on their own property. They had 3 houses, a huge yard, their own yachts, and private access to the ocean. In short, the family was not poor. They invited people from their social circle to the party. The guests were very wealthy. There were both adults and children. At this event, people were divided by age; you could see groups of 8-10 year olds, 11-15, 15-18, 18-21, and so on. The event featured a buffet, live music, tons of drinks, ice cream, and hot dogs. They ordered an inflatable slide from our park for the kids. That's what Natasha and I were working on.

All the teenagers and young people were dressed to the nines; the girls were all slim, wearing platforms and beautiful dresses. The guys were dressed to the max. It felt uncomfortable in such a society. The kids who were around 12 didn't want to go on the slide because it wasn't 'serious' and they were worried about how they would look at school. There were exceptions, but not many.

That day, I got to observe the lives of wealthy people.

Fathers were introducing their daughters to young men and inviting them to go yachting together. 17-year-old girls were discussing where they would go to get their higher education. There was a lot of talk about money, love, and a luxurious life. It was clear that their lives were already mapped out by their parents. They are confident in their future and look forward with courage.

Representatives of the 70+ generation rode around on special carts and kept order) The grandpas and grandmas were very sweet)

We met a wonderful guy there. Even though he was close to this society, he didn't like it. While we worked, he brought us ice cream and shared stories. He is 18, and he spends every summer on Cape Cod because it's nice and pleasant here. And summer is an opportunity to spend time with friends from other states who, like him, come to the Cape for the summer with their parents. This open and kind guy became a very good friend to us..)

We worked for a long time that day; upon arrival, we were fed for free at the park, and then we went to rest.

This was my second workday outside the park, and it was clearly useful for me (sorry for the lack of photos, but it wasn't easy to take them there:())

My third trip was very unusual. We worked at an interesting event. Here is the gist: children of police officers, doctors, firefighters, and snipers gathered together with their parents in a huge area. It was a celebration for them, for the children. They set up two inflatable bounce houses, gave out prizes, and held contests. During this event, fire trucks sprayed everyone with foam, and police officers organized games.

One of the games stuck in my memory.

A police officer sat in a closed glass cube, with water underneath. (I'm sending a photo for clarity)

Children had to hit a lever so the officer would fall into the water. Some kids couldn't wait and just pressed the lever!))

The children were incredibly proud of their parents. At one point, a girl came up to me and said that her dad is a police officer and she will be like her dad too. How much admiration and pride was in her words!)

My last trip was for a charity event. The money collected that day went to help sick children. On this day, we charged money for kids to jump on the bounce houses. People came to a baseball game that day. I really fell in love with baseball. You get so energized at such games. You must visit a baseball game!:) You won't regret it!)

This workday was very easy:) I lounged on the grass, ate ice cream, and calmly watched the kids and the game)

I remember a cute scene where elderly people brought chairs, sat in the front row, and, holding hands, watched the game. Just adorable!))

The funniest thing that day was how Masha and I got back from work. The boss couldn't come, so we rode in the back of a truck. We sprawled out on the deflated bounce houses and slept the whole way!)))

By the way, my American friends loved ice cream. Ice cream in America is really delicious, but don't get carried away, or you'll end up like a donut!))

One of my trips to an ice cream shop stayed in my memory. Once after work, Natasha and I went to the nearest ice cream parlor. It was small, like a little house where you can buy this treat. While waiting for our ice cream, we noticed chalk on the counter. It turns out visitors draw on the asphalt:) We couldn't resist and left a piece of ourselves there too:)

By the way, if you order ice cream with sprinkles, they don't just put a lot on; they dip it right into the sprinkles so that there's no empty space left on the ice cream!))

I forgot to say, when Natasha and I returned to the park one day after off-site work, a downpour and a terrible storm started. All the bounce houses were deflated, and we all ran for cover. The sky was completely black. Actually, we were expecting a real tsunami. The news kept talking about it, but it missed us; we were lucky:)

Friends, write your questions in the comments, and I will definitely give you the most complete answer possible:)

In the coming days, I will tell you about food in the USA and my trip around Cape Cod, because this place is incredibly interesting and beautiful, especially one of the towns:)
