In College Station there’s this fabulous place called ‘The Bounce‘. It is 12,500 square feet of Bounce Houses and Inflatable Slides and Rock Walls. In other words, kid Heaven. If you happen to be in that area… Monkey and Princess and I give it a HUGE thumbs up!

Now that you’ve watched my kids at play, why don’t you pop over and take the parenting quiz on the Savvy Source Widget. It’s sponsored by Leapfrog and it is pretty interesting. Come on, you know you want to!

I don’t think that’s actually my voice. I swear in my head it sounds different. Let’s call it cheap Kodak camera distortion, K?

To join in the 5-7-5 party go visit the fabulous Jennifer or the wonderful Christina

  8. secretagentmama says:

    I love how you did this with the videos, Rachel. Great haikus; you were able to hit all my senses with this; thank you! :D

  9. The Laundress says:

    We have something similar here…I’m always afraid she’s gonna break her ass…

    Maybe I’ll be brave and take her…She loves those things.

  10. Sassy Mama Bear says:

    Happiness for me was always a warm blanket but hey a long slide works great too….love these. My haiku is @ Mama Bear Writes.

  11. Stephanie says:

    Such fun! Karys is starting to bounce around the house, so I’m sure she’d love a bounce house someday soon :)

  12. Colleen says:

    OH – my oldest is in LUHVE with bouncy houses (calls them “jumpolines”). He would be in heaven in a place like that!

  13. maggies mind says:

    Yay for fun!! I would totally play in those if they’d let me.

  14. Don Mills Diva says:

    The Bounce sounds incredible…hmmm what price plane tickets..?

  15. Rachel says:

    So I’m thinking that when BD decides to grace us with his presence we all travel to College Station and have an awesome Blogger Meet Up in Texas! Who’s up for it?
    DMD, you get here, and we’ll provide shelter for you. M’kay ;-)

  16. noble pig says:

    We have a place like this too called Pump It Up. The kids luv it. Your kids are so cute!

  17. We are THAT Family says:

    We go to College Station every once in awhile. I’ll have to look that place up!

  18. Jennifer, Playgroups Are No Place For Children says:

    Oy you’re voice is cute! I sound like a high pitched cat.

    Do they have those bounce houses for adults!!

  19. Huckdoll says:

    You have the cutest voice! But i know what you mean about it sounding different in your head. I hate the way mine sounds recorded and I wonder if that’s what I really sound like…..ANYWAY….

    I want to bounce! Why didn’t they have cool stuff like this when we were tots?? The best thing I had was the ball pit a Chuck-E-Cheese’s.

  20. melissa says:

    we have something called pump it up which sounds similar. we have had some of the kids birthday parties there!! awesomeness.
    looks like it was loads of fun!

  21. Rachel says:

    @jennifer Thank you dahlin’.

    The really cool thing is it’s only $5 for kids 2 to 6 and $6 for kids 7 to 12.
    And if you’re the parent and have socks, you can play with them! It is pure joy and exhaustion. They also have a cool 50′s style snack bar with yummy reasonably priced junk food :-)
    @huckdoll
    thank you love!

  22. Nap Warden says:

    Looks like fun!

  23. Roger says:
