Last Friday was the Abacus School's annual "Summer Bounce" event which is basically a summer fete with a whole host of inflatables for the kiddies to play on. As part of the FAPS group with the school, Tina put in a lot of work helping organise the event and then the running of the event throughout the evening. This left me to try and keep track of 3 little ones as they run riot around the school field going from one bouncy castle to another. Holly was just a bit too young to go on the inflatables with some of the big kids and therefore I had my work cut out to try and keep her entertained.
Whilst at the fete both boys were also involved in a karate demonstration with Ni-Sen Karate Kai. The both did very well to stand up in front of a crowd and do their basics, some pad work and some sparring work.

Joshua and Brandon both doing some sparring. |
One of the new inflatables for 2015 was called the "Eliminator" which was basically like a total wipe out type of inflatable. The operator controlled a giant inflatable beam that spun around in a cycle whilst the kids had to jump over it without being hit. Joshua's first attempt was a disaster as he was totally wiped out.

Joshua getting ready for a life size game of table football. I could do with one of these for football coaching to teach the boys to stay in their positions and not all chase the ball. |

He gets he ball and had a great strike at goal scoring for his team. |
I think everyone will sleep well tonight after 3 hours charging around on bouncy castles. The boys also tried a few of the other activities such as throwing a ball at coconuts etc but where unsuccessful. I think next years bounce event will be good as Holly should be big enough to have her own wrist band and then she can get more playtime.

Wow, looks like a fab time was had by all. Well done Tina as I know how hard you worked helping to organise this event.
