A Jumpin' Good Time

One of my neighbors recently decided to open her own business in town. It is an indoor play area full of bounce houses. I was THRILLED when I found out that she was considering this. Mainly because there is very little for young kids to do in our town. Unless you want to hang out at McDonalds or Wal-Mart, you are pretty much left to figure things out for yourselves. Granted, there are parks and those are great on sunny, warm days. But on rainy and cold days? Yeah, not much for us.

When she told me she was going to start this venture, I told her to let me know if there was anything I could do to help her. And she definitely let me help. She let me paint the business logo on the wall behind their welcome desk.

She also had me design and paint her two party rooms upstairs. Here are before and after pics of one of the party rooms.

I don't have pictures of the second room, but it is similar in design with different wall colors.

My mom and brother also played a role in helping my neighbor set up the business. They put their skills to work in writing and producing the commercial that now plays on the radio to advertise her business. I can't tell you how much fun it is to be driving down the road in small town Alaska and hear my mom's voice over the radio. I love it!!!

This whole venture has been so much fun. I've had a blast exercising my creativity and my girls have had a blast . . . . well exercising!!! Here is picture proof!
