Photograph was edited for publication purposes; Hidden Hills was not incorporated until several months after this photo was taken. Photograph caption dated July 20, 1961 reads, "Who's inflating whom? There's more to this scene than meets the eye, says photographer Jon Woods, who snapped small Kevin MacKelvie, 3-1/2, with a balloon bigger than his head. Kevin, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jock MacKelvie, El Dorado Meadow road, Hidden hills, took the balloon from another boy who had already blown it up. when Kevin tried to inflate it some more, the sphere puffed out his cheeks, inflating him. He is the grandson of the late actor Wallace Beery.
