Balloons: End Whining, Bickering, and Overall Boredom

If you are like us and do not have a pool
but you do have a trampoline,
this is a great splash alternative!

Bungalow'56's favourite Summer Boredom Buster!

We stock up on dollar store mini balloons.

And grab some big buckets.

The big buckets are for collecting the water balloons.

We've had far too many spill out onto the floor 

while on their way outside.

So big tubs are are a definite must for transporting the little *blobs of summer fun!
*just to be clear, I am not referring to my girls... or their friends.

It's pretty simple

Throw a few out onto the trampoline.

And jump to your hearts content.

Prepare to get wet : )

Strangely enough this activity cuts down on whining, bickering, and overall boredom.

Not that my girls evah participate in these past times.

I've just read up on it, on a lot of parenting forums.

So I'm here for you.

This never gets old.

And it takes them awhile to prepare as well as break all those balloons.

Nothing says summer fun, 

like an activity that keeps the kids happily out of your hair for an hour or so.

I'm just kidding.

Sort of.

Now go, get out of here and buy yourself some balloons.

(and obviously a trampoline if you don't have one...duh)

You can thank me later!

xoxo,

Thanks Jenny for Alphabe Thursday!
