Kevin has so much fun in his bounce house. The first day we got it out while here at mom's he bounced and played in it for almost 3 hours! He slept really good that night too! The next day, 2 hours and 45 minutes. And then yesterday he was in it for another 2 1/2 hours just bouncing and playing, doing somersaults, pretending he was swimming underwater, all sorts of things. This one has a built-in slide on one side and that just adds to the fun. It has stakes to anchor it down so it doesn't move all over the place when the bouncing begins! I usually put a tarp underneath it to protect it from any sticks or stuff that might be on the ground and may harm it. So far it has been well worth the effort!
This bounce house is one of our favorite things to do outside and it burns off so much energy! I HIGHLY recommend a bounce house to anyone with kids. It's a very good source of exercise for your child as well as entertainment for you both.:) You can have up to three kids in this particular one or no more than 250 pounds I believe, so you can invite a friend to join your little one in the bouncing. I, too, can get in it with Kevin and I have to admit it's a lot fun!
We got this one for Kevin for Christmas two years ago and it has been worth every penny. It came from Toys-R-Us and I believe we got it on sale. I can carry it and set it up by myself so I recommend it for moms. It is a bit on the heavy side to carry by myself but I can do it. You can put it in a wagon and roll it to your destination if you want to. But Kevin can now grab one end and 'help' me so it makes it a bit easier even with what little weight he can carry.
I just highly recommend these. Highly. Plain and simple. Hours of exercise and fun!

I uploaded a slew of pictures I've taken while being in the mountains so far. These are just a few of the pictures I have taken. I invite you to see them in the Flickr set I created. There are some cool pics there. If you are a Flickr contact of mine you will be able to see all of the pictures so make sure you are signed in. If you are not a contact of mine then you will not be able to see some of them, but you can view a lot of them. I hope you enjoy them.
(NOTE: I changed who could view pictures of Kevin on Flickr due to having some strangers favorite them. These people who fav'd his pics had photos in their stream that were not what I would call 'earnest' or family friendly. Therefore, I changed who could see my son's pictures. I highly advise anyone with kids to do this with their family pics on Flickr. I'm not sure who was looking at my son or 'how' they were looking at him, but I'm not taking any more chances.)
