Winter break is just around the corner, bringing a change to
the family routine. The kids still have a lot of energy to use. Since it’s
their vacation, why not make it special with a holiday bounce house?
I’ve always enjoyed
the bouncing around and wonderful feeling of temporary flight as I soar into
the air before falling back to the surface before lifting off again. Treat the
grownups to their own special session. Rules are the same as for the kids – shoes
and jewelry off, no sharp objects, and no roughhousing.
The play area encourages the kids to leave the TV and video
games. Happy laughter, encouraged by bouncing and the sheer job of freedom to
move, makes the holidays special.
You’ll find the kids communicating with one another as they
announce which direction they intend to go. “I’m going to fly really high!”
They learn to judge distances and use their muscles to help balance their
moves.
Talk with the other parents in your area to see if they’d
like to share in the cost of setup and rental. It may even become a holiday
tradition that carries on for years.
Have you experienced the joy of hopping around a bounce
house?
Oh yes. We have a joint birthday party for my boys every August and get a bouncy house every year. They are SO MUCH FUN!
ReplyDeleteIt would be loads of fun to rent one for a party. The nieces and nephews would definitely love it!
ReplyDeleteA bounce house sounds like a lot of fun. My friends gets one every year for her nephews birthday and we get in it after all the kids leave.
ReplyDeleteBounce houses are the most fun a kid can have without breaking kiddie law. This would make any kid's party the best party ever.
ReplyDeleteMy kids never pass up a chance to enjoy a bounce house, and if we're being honest, neither do I! It is a great way to get some energy out and have fun too.
ReplyDeleteWe rent a bounce house every year for our family reunion! The kids play on it for hours and sometimes the adults join in! I wish they made bounce houses just for adults!!!
ReplyDeleteBounce houses are so much fun. I haven't been in one since my kids were little.
ReplyDeleteThat's a fun idea! We don't have neighbors with kids that would be interested, but if we lived in a neighborhood that did, I'd totally ask if they wanted to share the cost and rent one, too!
ReplyDeleteI have definitely been in a bounce house. I have mixed emotions about them, but the boys love them.
ReplyDeleteWow, I want this for my son, he would love this for sure. I wonder for the price.
ReplyDeleteBounce houses are so much fun. My boys loved them when they were younger.
ReplyDeleteOh how fun. My kids LOVE bounce houses and if I could fit one in my backyard I would for sure have one, its so much fun! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteMy son still enjoys a bounce house. He has so much fun in them, even at an older age.
ReplyDeleteMy friend just rented a bouncy house for her Son's birthday party. It was a huge hit. We normally have a few feet of snow this time of year. This year it was a beautiful warm sunny day and the kids loved it.
ReplyDeleteMy kids always love when there's a bounce house at a party. I sadly have not bounced in a very long time
ReplyDeleteBounce houses are so fun and make a party special! My kids love them.
ReplyDeleteSome friends of ours bit the bullet & bought one. It's so much fun for everyone (parents too). Why not have one accessible?
ReplyDeleteI had a friend whose daughter was graduating from high school. She rented a bounce house for the kids. She and I took it over and bounced for hours!!
ReplyDeleteBounce houses are so popular at birthdays, and all ocassions. My backyard is big enough, but haven't yet rented one. Kids love them, so maybe I should for my son's next bday.
