Need some joy in your life? Go help with a bouncy house.

My wife, Deb, and I were lucky enough to be asked by a Sammamish friend to help monitor the kids using a bouncy house at the city of Sammamish’s Fourth on the Plateau. I say fortunate because it turned out to be a wonderful blessing for us.

For two hours we got to watch an endless parade of smiling faces and hear nothing but joyful laughter. We’ve decided it’s impossible to not have fun in a bouncy house, and just as impossible to not have fun helping.

So thank you to the city of Sammamish and thank you to the Sammamish friend. And thank you to all those happy kids.
