Fun for all ages!

July 27, 2010 was our niece Shayna's 3rd birthday and for her 3rd birthday Allison, her mom, rented a bounce house and it ended up being the highlight of the party. As Shayna and her little friends were opening presents me, Mike, Kristy and Angie (Mike's sisters) decided we would try the bounce house out. Well one of the first trials was getting in the thing. Angie went first, she went to step on what we thought was the stair to get into the house, ended up not being a stair for people that weigh more than 40lbs. Needless to say, the step collapsed and Angie faced planted into the bounce house. Mike decided he would try it and did the exact same thing. I went next and instead of stepping on the non step I hurled myself through the tiny opening, Kristy did the same thing as I and got in just fine. Angie tried to do what Kristy and I just did and failed so then she just stuck her arms in and Kristy and I pulled her in. Mike succeeded with entrance Kristy and I had done. All of this while Shayna was opening her presents, needless to say the attention was not on Shayna, even the camera was directed to us.

After all of us were in and jumping we looked over at Angie and she had gotten a little to close to the edge and the edge had collapsed on her bending her in half. Kristy and I couldn't stop laughing even after we noticed she really needed help because she could get out. After we saved Angie we decided to exit the house. Mike went first and some how literally fail out of the house and ate dirt. Angie, Kristy and I got out with no problem. From that moment on any time there were no kids in the bounce house the adults would take their turn and although we could never stay in for very long because it is very tiring and we were laughing to hard, it was still fun.

Later that night as Steve and Mike were putting the bounce house away, they found something new to do with the bounce house. Steve was on one side and Mike jumped on the other side throwing Steve off the corner he was on and landing on the grass. After finding out that this was fun, Steve came inside and had me and Allison come outside and try it. After doing it a few times we went inside and got Kristy to come try. The fun finally stopped when it started to pour.

I think it is safe to say, to have any kind of family get together/ family party without a bounce house of some kind will just not cut it anymore.
