When the triplets were little, we had a bouncy house and it was a lifesaver. Single mom, 3 busy active kids who needed to get some energy out in the winter!! Washington winters that aren’t cold enough for decent amounts of regular snow to play in, and there’s only so much energy one has for getting kids to rain gear and boots to puddle jump and play in the cold drizzle or water or the major downpour. Hence the purchase of a bouncy house. I was hesitant because it was a huge purchase and I was a single mom on a very tight budget. But it is still, to this day, one of the best purchases I ever made. It lasted from when they were 3 years old, till they were 9. During that time the “blower” went dead and I purchased new one, it was 4 years old and had been used daily in the winter months. Not bad if you ask me. When they turned 9, it was still in tact and completely functional, we just gave it away. They were getting a tad big for it, and we were moving so the timing seemed perfect. ...
