Exercise and Get Fit as A Family

When it comes to keeping fit, there are tons of ways to get the whole family involved. Sure, you guys could all go to the gym together, or run around the park, but why not or go all out and try something different like adding some inflatable fun to the proceedings instead.

From bounce houses for the little ones to all-out action for the adults, here at South Florida Bounce, we have tons of inflatables that can make working out with the family more fun than ever before.

Compete together with our inflatable football

Why not get all the family into some healthy pursuits with an inflatable foosball set-up? This is a giant inflatable arena where you guys are the players. Bounce about and try and score points against the kids while having the time of your life. It’s a great way to work most of the major muscles groups as well as being an excellent cardio workout.  The very best thing about our inflatable football – you will be having so much fun, you won’t even feel like you are working out at the same time.

Workout with our Wipeout

Have you ever watched that TV show where contestants try to jump across a line of giant, inflatable red balls? It sure looks fun, right? Well, now you and yours can have a go yourselves without the trouble of getting soaking wet or having a nation of viewers laughing at your failure! With the inflatable Wipeout set-up, you can attempt the near-impossible in the comfort of your own backyard. The whole thing is padded and surrounded with air-filled mats, so the only thing you’ll damage is your pride as your 7-year old kid hops across with ease, whilst you crash and burn like a clumsy bear on roller skates.

Soccerdarts is an actual thing

Are you any good at darts? Or soccer? Then how about trying out our unique Soccerdarts inflatable? Soccerdarts is a great way to keep fit and have a blast at the same time. A giant inflatable dartboard is your target as you take turns to pelt soccer balls that stick to the board. The best score wins, and everyone gets a great workout for the legs. Soccer and darts perfection, all rolled into one hilariously good fun inflatable.

Bungee up together

If you’ve ever wanted to show off your trampoline skills but were too worried about cartwheeling through the air into the neighbor’s pool, try a bungee trampoline experience instead. Players strap into a special harness that keeps them in place and allows them to show off their best ninja-style poses without gravity getting in the way too much. It’s safe, fun and, best of all, a really good workout that you and your family will never get bored of getting involved with.

How to Create A Great Party Playlist

Throwing the perfect party is not just about the venue you choose and the food you serve, it is also about creating the perfect playlist to have your guests dancing the night away.

Not sure how to do it?  Follow our advice on how to create a great party playlist.

Tailor your list to suit the occasion

If you are holding a family friendly event, chances are you can forego the banging EDM music and opt for something lower key instead.   Think about the atmosphere you are trying to create before you start thinking about the musical accompaniment and work from there.   A laid back, afternoons social for example is the perfect place for bringing out some of your favorite light jazz and old-school soul tunes, that will help to create a relaxing, friendly atmosphere where people can talk.

If you are planning on partying later into the small hours, add plenty of well-known party anthems at the start of the evening, to help get your guests in the mood.  As the evening goes on, increased the BPM to keep them dancing.  If it’s a seasonal affair, be sure to throw some Christmas tunes in to help everyone get into the spirit of things.

Mix it up

As the nominated DJ for your event, remember that variety is the spice of life. Throw in a variety of slow and fast songs, pop classics, country favorites and other musical styles to keep people interested.  Mixing current hits with old school favorites is also a great way to keep guests of all ages entertained throughout the evening.  You should also space things out evenly, so that you don’t get stuck on one style of music for too long at a time, and always throw in some crowd-pleasers. like Whitney, Britney, Madonna and Beyoncé to really get the party started.

Your Party, Your Playlist

Of course, you want to wow your guests with lots of lovely crowd pleasers, but never be afraid to throw a few of your favorites into the mix too.  Intersperse well known party tunes with some from your own personal playlist to create the perfect party sounds to keep your guests entertained, while still reflecting your own personality.  Don’t go overboard with obscure, one hit wonders though – remember this is a party after all, and not an opportunity for you to educate your guests in your own taste in music.

Review Your Choices Before the Big Day

If you really want to impress with your musical prowess, be sure to listen to your playlist in full at least a couple of times before the event itself.  Listen out loud through your sound system, not your headphones to get a feel for technical anomalies like changes in sound quality.  You should also be prepared to make harsh edits and cut out some songs completely if they don’t fit in with the final cut.  This way, you can create a fine-tuned playlist that will go down a storm.

Enjoy!

When your guests arrive, it’s time to forget about the music and get bust being the best host you can be.  Your carefully created playlist is bound to be a big hit with your guests, so have a drink and join in the fun, and don’t worry about which song comes next, or whether everyone like it.

If you really want to make your party utterly memorable and completely epic, why not hire some interactive games or inflatables from South Florida Bounce.  Call us today at 561-245-7100 to see how we can make your party the best ever.

Easy Fun Halloween Treats for The Kids to Enjoy

Halloween is not just about ghost and ghouls and things that go bump in the night, it is also an awesome time to get creative with the kids.  Whether you are hosting a Halloween party, going out to trick or treat or just dressing up at home, you can make your Halloween celebrations even more exciting by treating your kids to some quality time together this Halloween.

Cook Up A Storm

Kids love cooking and whether you are making spider pizzas or homemade candy, there is plenty to get them involved in at this time of year. Bake your favorite flavor cupcakes and use buttercream or fondant icing to transform them into mummies, pumpkins or jack-o-lanterns. Slash hotdogs to create Halloween hotdog fingers with extra spooky ketchup for a truly gruesome snack or make marshmallow ghouls with googly eyes.  Easy Halloween recipes take minutes to make but can add plenty of extra fear factor for your kids Halloween party or Halloween supper at home.

Have A Scary Movie Night

This time of year is prime for horror films and scary movies. Wherever you live there will be kid-friendly showing at your local movie theatre, in the form of a spooky cartoon or gentle Disney thriller.  If there is nothing suitable for them to watch close by, hold your own Halloween movie night at home, with popcorn dipped in white chocolate for extra ghostly effects. Turn out the lights, add some flashlights to create atmosphere and snuggle down on the sofa to watch your favorite Halloween movie together.

Have a Halloween party

Kids and adults love to dress up and dance the night away at a Halloween party.  Have your friends and neighbors over to join you bobbing for apples, pinning the bow on the skeleton or simply doing the monster mash.  Serve up Halloween themed treats and offer a prize for the best-dressed party-goer.  However, you celebrate, Halloween parties are fun for everyone. The very best way to make your Halloween party truly memorable is to hire some inflatables for the kids to enjoy.  From bounce houses to inflatable assault courses and everything in between, your little monsters will love bouncing the night away with their friends, and South Florida Bounce has a huge variety of inflatables to choose from.

Carve A Pumpkin

Making a jack-o-lantern is part and parcel of Halloween.  Take the kids to a pumpkin patch to choose their very own pumpkin, then take them home to carve out the fleshy inside and create gruesome faces to fill with light.   Go old school with simple eyes and mouth arrangement, or purchase any of the many stencils you can buy online and in stores to create veritable works of art on your pumpkins.

Go Trick or Treat

This all-American tradition is the highlight of the season for many children.  Getting dressed up to knock on neighbors’ doors is super exciting for them.  Take the kids around the neighborhood to join in the fun, and don’t forget to keep a stack of treats at your house too, for fellow revelers who come a-knocking.

Halloween Bounce House from South Florida Bounce

Why not treat the kids to something different this year?  Having inflatables in your backyard is guaranteed to impress and will transform a basic Halloween party into a memorable event.  Choose from bounce houses, slip and slides, and giant inflatable games and obstacle courses to ensure hour after hour of bouncy, spooky fun this Halloween.

Call out team today at 561.245.7100 to find out more.

Get Ready for Pumpkin Spice Everything!

It is the beginning of fall and that can only mean that pumpkin season is here with us again. The pumpkin has a rich history of how it rose from being slave’s food to the great American Icon for the Fall Season. During Fall Americans are obsessed with the pumpkin and this is very evident from all the promotional offers of pumpkin-related products. You can literally get everything flavored in pumpkin; coffee, ale, donuts, pies and event tea! Beyond consumption, it is also used as a seasonal décor material.

Tips to pick the best pumpkins

During fall there are a variety of pumpkins in the markets; some for food and some for decorative purposes. Thus, if looking for pumpkins or squash for cooking, below are some of the things you should consider:

  • Orange pumpkins will usually be a good indicator of a ripe melon. However, in some instances, there are green pumpkins that are also ripe.
  • If you are not able to test by color, you can thump the pumpkin. If ready, it should produce a hollow sound.
  • If ready, the pumpkin skin should be hard, and the stem attached to it should be brown and woody.
  • If you are not able to use any of the above measures, you can request for sugar or pie pumpkins at the grocery stores.

Easy to Make Pumpkin Treats

Pumpkin is a healthy ingredient that can be used to make meals for both kids and adults. Fall is the best time to treat your taste buds to the supremacy of the pumpkin:

Whipped Pumpkin Dip

  • Mix pumpkin, pudding mix and whip cream, cinnamon and nutmeg in a bowl.
  • It can be taken by the spoonful or used to dip fruits such as apples, strawberries, and

Pumpkin Smoothie

  • Freeze some pumpkin puree for about three hours to produce solid pumpkin cubes.
  • Add yogurt, milk or apple juice and the solid cubes to a blender and mix them up.
  • If you like you can add some honey to sweeten and smoothen it.

Caramelized Pumpkin Seeds

  • Place dry pumpkin seeds on a dry non-stick pan over medium heat.
  • Constantly toast them on the pan so that they can roast evenly without sticking to the pan.
  • Once they pop and peel, they are ready to be caramelized.
  • Lower the heat, add some olive oil and sugar to the seeds and stir constantly.
  • Once the sugar has melted, turn down the heat and sprinkle some little salt and allow to cool before serving.

 Jack O’ Lantern

Pumpkins became a classic part of Halloween because of Jack the Legend of the Lantern. Carving Jack O’ Lanterns is a tradition highly associated with Halloween. The best pumpkins for Halloween have slightly ribbed skin and are orange in color. Connecticut Field is the best variety as it can be used for pies as well as carving.

Don’t be caught off guard as we enter the fall season. Get your stash of squash ready for the most delicious and legendary meals as well as for the Halloween Festivities. And let South Florida Bounce and Slide add ‘pumpkin’ flavor to your fall with our Punisher, Toxic Water Revenge Slide, and Hurricane experiences!

Recipes the Whole Family Will Love

Putting a meal on the table that your family will love every day is no mean feat. In fact, getting your family to ooh and aah over every meal at dinnertime is actually not a simple thing to achieve every day. These recipes that we will share with you are going to get your family taking Instagram-worthy photos of each meal before the first bite. They are easy to prepare, cook and also to clean up after.

  1. Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon and Broccoli

Which child loves broccoli? We thought so. How about bacon? We are sure all the hands went up with this one. This dish takes the spin on your good old macaroni and cheese by incorporating some broccoli and topping it off with lots of crispy bacon. Make your usual pasta following the package instructions. Then add the broccoli in the last few minutes of cooking the pasta to leave it crunchy and fresh. Next, cook a luxurious sauce with the milk, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, thyme, and cheese over a low flame until it thickens. Pour this sauce over your pasta and broccoli with a healthy sprinkling of bacon and serve hot.

  1. Home-made meatball subs

Nothing beats a home-made sub loaded with meatballs, pasta sauce, and creamy cheese. This recipe calls for a simple meatball recipe comprised of ground beef, pork, combined with an egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt and pepper as well as some milk to bring it all together. All you need to do is knead these ingredients together and let the mixture rest for about half an hour before forming your meatballs and shallow frying them in your choice of cooking oil. Finally, using fresh bread rolls, create your subs by placing the meatballs in the freshly buttered bread and top it off with some pasta sauce and a sprinkling of Parmesan cheese.

  1. Crispy baked chicken tenders crusted with Parmesan

Everybody loves some chicken tenders. How about upping the ante and baking them instead of deep frying them in oil? Furthermore, this dish is made more delectable by the crusting of Parmesan cheese on the outside. Begin by slicing the chicken breasts into long but not too narrow strips. Secondly, create your batter by whisking eggs, Dijon mustard and paprika for a slight kick. In a second shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, salt and pepper and Parmesan cheese for the crunchy coating. Dip each flour-dredged chicken tender into the batter, shaking off the excess and going into the breadcrumbs mixture. Repeat this twice before lining them on a baking sheet and baking them for 5-6 minutes on each side. A fantastic dinner served with a fresh garden salad and Dijon mustard as a dip.

These are just a few of the recipes that are out there that your family will definitely love on any day. Furthermore, for those nights you could just not be bothered to whip up an elaborate meal, you can make these quick yet healthful and tasty fixes. Moreover, the prep time and clean up time for these meals is super quick making it a triple win for family dinner times.

VR Fun For The Whole Family

Until a few years ago, many people did not understand what virtual reality (VR) is about. To many people, VR still is a fantasy issue among technologists and storytellers. Other people still consider virtual reality a thing for kids. However, with the advancement of technology, it is now possible to have VR fun for the whole family. There is more fun and enjoyment to anything once it is shared with loved ones, family, and friends. The same principle is applicable to experience and games that could create fond memories and the best way to do this is by participating as a family. So why don’t you gather your family members for VR fun? If you are not sure how to go about it, here are some useful tips.

  1. Invite your family to share the VR fun

One of the first things that you need to adopt to extract the full potential of the virtual reality headset is to have family members share in the joy and fun. Virtual reality gives many opportunities and experiences to everyone. For instance, your family members will love scenic views, sports, or even video games. With everyone having an aspect or two to enjoy from the VR, it will definitely be a great family day.

  1. Bring out a variety of VR headsets

It is not unlikely that some of the family members do not know how to use the VR headsets. As such, ensure that you show them how to use the headset for maximum fun. Lack of proper fitting of the headset can break the fun, which is not something that you want especially in the midst of your family members. South Florida Bounce.

  1. Make sure the VR headset is clean

Keeping the virtual reality headset clean and sanitized is important more so during the cold holiday season. However, cleaning the headset is not a heavy task since it requires simple tools including microfiber cloth and air compressor. The compressor is necessary for deep cleaning, which is recommendable on a weekly basis. Once you have cleaned the unit, use a microfiber cloth to keep the lenses dry.

  1. Have enough games

It can be a daunting task to settle for a game that is fun for everyone. However, most headsets have different types of games. It is advisable to download a couple of them to cater to the tastes and preferences of each of your family members. Make sure that you seek the opinion and preferences of everybody lest you leave some out of the fun.

  1. Personalize the VR space

Most VR headsets come with an option of customizing as well as decorating how things appear once you view them from the headset. Try different aspects of the VR space to make sure that you create the best experience for the whole family. Nevertheless, it is important to note the not all headsets are customizable.

Video Game Addiction

Is there that one level of development that is getting in your child’s way of life? Many parents struggle with the addiction of their children to video games. While video games were considered a significant aspect of personal development as well as an activity for passing time, they have become completely addictive. So, how do you establish the line between video games as fun or as a problem?

Usually, video games were an activity that children undertook in dingy basements, or in bombastic arcades and family vacation car. Parents nowadays cannot escape their far-reaching grasps –they are available online, in tablets, phones, and computers. While smartphones have made it convenient to access video games, they are also to blame for opening a platform where video games come with the bad.

Video games are addictive

Children no longer want to go outside to play. Video games are gradually cutting off their social lives. The majority of them prefer staying indoors to play the games as opposed to playing outside. If you are noticing a trend where your children are into playing video games more than doing their chores or reading, it is highly likely that you are witnessing a sobering possibility of video game addiction.

How to get the kids outside

There is no denying that kids nowadays want to spend every second playing video games. While video games may not be necessarily having a negative impact on your child, a new study on the impacts of video games on children’s behavior revealed that with moderation, video games are actually good.

How then do you get the kids away from their video games?

  • Have occasional outside play dates

Children are fond of places where they get to engage in their favorite activities. An outdoor play date could just fit the part. Make sure that your kids get to meet their friends, perhaps in a lake, creek, or even a park. South Florida Bounce has all that you need for such a play date –bounce house, tents, chairs, and other services.

  • Provide other play items

Tablets, phones, and computers are not the only child’s play gadget you can get. If you wish to get your children outside to play, ensure that you have other items of play with such as buckets, sidewalk chalk, and balls. Such toys will give them a motivation to play outside.

  • Limit their video game involvement

Kids can play video games the whole day. As such, it is important for parents to have a schedule for their kids’ amount of time on screens. Ensure that they spend less time on the games and encourage them to engage in other activities.

  • Increase the child’s level of independence while outside

It always gets fun for the kids when they exercise their independence while outdoors. In most of the cases, children would wish to play more outside the house if they notice that they can achieve the independence they want. However, make sure that you keep them under watch.

Video game addiction is a real problem and it is the role of the parents to ensure that the kids get involved outside the house. Providing alternatives to playing video games is a significant way to succeed in getting kids to play outside.
