We have some friends that own a bounce house franchise as a side-job. I decided that since we were celebrating both boys birthdays in June that we could splurge and rent a waterslide at my friend's great price. Then, in God's great providence upon my children (though not my lawn) my friends told me that the day I wanted it fell during their summer vacation and did we mind having it at our place for a whole week???? Hmmmmm, let me think about that!!!
I am SURE our neighbors all thought we hit the lottery or something since we had this rental for over 7 days! There were only a couple of days in there that we didn't blow it up, but it was pretty much up like this in our front yard for over a week ( for those of you not from this part of Florida-there was some weird opinion years ago that people would like a larger front yard than backyard-so our backyard is barely 12 feet deep, whereas our frontyard is at least 36!)
We had our cousins over 3 times, the neighbor kids, church friends and two birthday parties on the same day with LOTS OF BOYS!!! I am SO glad that was all a month ago, because I don't think I could have handled all that outside-wet and wild kids and laundry at my current state of 30 weeks pregnant!
Thank God for this special treat my kids got to enjoy with their friends for a whole week. I am sure they won't forget about it any time soon!
