There's a Bouncy Castle in my backyard

Yes, there was a Lion King Bouncy Castle in my backyard all weekend.  And it was for us to jump on!

My neighbour had his 30th birthday party on Saturday at our house, and his girlfriend rented a bouncy castle from 1pm Saturday til 7pm Sunday.  They live above us and we have the backyard so we ended up having the whole party at our house.  I had the best time and it was so great to have a party at my house that was hosted by someone else.  There were about 12 of their friends and then me and Kathryn.  Alexis made the best food and had everything so prepared.  All we had to do was bring booze and carry stuff down from her place to serve it.  There were so many people that everyone just helped and the cleanup at the end was so little work.  I love parties like that.

It was 13′ x 13′ and we had to roll it into the backyard.  Chad and Alexis did the most rolling.

Chad helped set it up.  He had to leave early for band practice.

Monte was getting right in there to help.  Chad is hammering a stake into the ground here and the cat wouldn’t move.   Haha

More helping.

It took about 1 minute to fill the castle up completely.  Kathryn has photos of me jumping and there’s a great video where I announce that I peed my pants and checked, but then it turns out I didn’t.  Pretty embarrassing.

Strict Rules were enforced at all times.

Here’s the start of the party bounce.

Of course the boys were roughhousing and knocking each other down.

Then we went upstairs for snacks (nachos and dip, spinach dip in a pumpernickel bowl, chips and onion dip), drinks and mini-keg stands.  Yes!  This is the birthday boy

And then back down for dinner and more bouncing.  We had burgers, hot dogs, corn on the cob and homemade potato salad.  So yummy.

And then vanilla and checkerboard butterscotch sundaes for dessert.  Soooo good.  I had the biggest food baby and I could barely move.

Happy Birthday Tim.

After sundaes Nicole, Kathryn and I got blankets and pillows and laid in the bouncy castle to digest for about an hour.  We almost fell asleep.  Then we went in and watched Twilight (my second time).  I get why people are freaking out over the Edward Culling character.  I was completely in love with him by the end.  He is really hot and very charming.  I haven’t had a movie star crush on someone in a while but Robert Pattison is worthy.
