Just Bounce

For the last day of half term I booked the two boys into a "Just Bounce" bouncy castle fun play afternoon at Bromfords School. Excellent value for money as it only cost £5 each for 3 hours of entertainment. And even better than that is that 3 hours of bouncy castles has completely knackered them out and hence the went to bed very easily tonight. The boys also got to meet up with some of their friends from Wizz Kids yesterday who were also in attendance at Just Bounce.

 

For Brandon today was even more lucrative as he hit heads quite hard with another little boy on one of the bouncy castles which resulted in a another bloody, loose tooth. For sure he is going to lose this tooth in the near future which means he gets another visit from the tooth fairy. Its amazing how Joshua seems to be losing his teeth naturally as his adult teeth push through, yet Brandon prefers the tougher route of getting them knocked out early!!!!

Even with Joshua's weight and speed he could only get about half way down the runway before being pinged backwards.

Joshua again trying the bungee but this time in the other lane.

He makes it and attaches the velcro brick to the side of the inflatable.

Brandon was not too interested in the bungee inflatable but seemed to really like the big slide. He went up and down it so many times that I honestly could not count them. He was growing in confidence and despite being one of the smallest boys there, he was absolutely launching himself off of the top and nearly touching the cross beam before falling (not sliding) to the bottom. He was giving me heart attacks as I had visions of him really hurting himself. The attendant on the inflatable was shocked by his fearless approach and suicidal jumps.

The inflatable football pitch was also good fun however the boys however all the boys were struggling to kick the balls into the holes at the back of the net and subsequently resorted to throwing them in. I guess this is a poor reflection on my football coaching skills! 

Joshua toe punts the ball, missing the holes.

Brandon resorts to launching the balls with a big throw.

Despite a big breakfast, lunch and some trick or treat munchies, Joshua still found room for candy floss!

Speaking of gladiators, Joshua's final inflatable before our early departure due to Brandon nearly knock his tooth out was the pugil sticks. He was so keen to get up on the plinth but boy was he useless! The red platform seemed to be really wobbly and he struggled with balance. To further compound his problems the boy he was duelling was about 2 years older and a big old lump. So in reality even without the balance problem, Joshua had no chance against this kid.

Joshua man's up and gets back on the platform for round two.

Unfortunately round two ends in similar fashion with Joshua taking a left hook.
