I passed this impressive inflatable waterslide several times over the weekend. This one is a beast, taking up an entire front yard. I think I first saw it on Friday night, the party was on Saturday, and here it is pre-dawn Sunday morning. It’s not only still inflated, but the water’s running, too.
Maybe it’s just me, but that seems like a long time to leave the power on and the water running. I always thought that you’d want to turn everything off once the party was over. At least overnight. But maybe the rental people told them to just let it stay as is.
The inflatable party rental business is huge. I see them in yards every weekend. It’s a lot of work, too. These monsters must weigh a ton, requiring delivery, set up, tear down, and removal. I’ve watched. It’s impressive. And it’s fun. Few things light up kids’ faces like a big waterslide. It gets a little rough, and sometimes someone gets hurt. Not to worry. A few minutes later, they will be right back in there.
When I checked out local rental websites, I saw some that were thirty feet tall and twenty-six feet long. Wow! It’ll set you back about $600, but you’ll all have a blast!
Even though All Saints is technically November 1 on the church calendar, we celebrated it in worship today. And since we call it a “celebration,” the children’s sermon wasn’t too hard to put together. After all, if there’s joy in heaven when one person repents, we can celebrate here on earth too. So I gave out pointy party hats and party blowers, those things that unroll when you blow into them.
Waite for it...
