A few years ago, my husband and I were lucky enough to be able to sell our home in the city and move to an acreage. It was something that we had always dreamed of doing, and though it took longer than we had originally planned, it was a great move for us.

Shortly after the move, we found out that the company that my husband works for had some bouncy castles for sale. We thought that, since we now had the room, it would be a wonderful addition to our yard for our children. The move had been a little bit tough on them, as they had to go to a new school and make new friends, and we thought that this might be just the thing to cheer them up.

When we brought it home and started setting it up, the look of sheer joy on my daughter’s face, as she saw the inflatable slides, made the decision well worth it.
