We finished another birthday party for one of Sam’s friends at Bounce U. If you are not familiar with this place, it is quite the production. Inside are huge inflatable “toys” for lack of a better term on which children can exhaust themselves. They have the large slide, obstacle course, boxing ring, etc. After the allotted time of bouncing, the children are treated to pizza, juice, & cake prior to the opening of presents. Now the “host” family provides the cake of course and purchases the pizza (Dominos) from the Bounce U. All in all, not a terrible way to throw a party especially for those children who have winter birthdays and are often forced to celebrate inside where it is warm. Sam is already talking about having a Bounce U party. The only obstacles (pardon the pun) to his plan are that he is a June baby (can you say “pool party” instead?) and I learned today the price tag for such an excursion. For approximately an hour of “bouncing” and an hour of party time the price is hefty to say the least. I suppose we will have to wait and see if his desire will fade as the weather turns. He would much rather be outside on any given day.
