I wanna do something special for my girlfriends daughter for her birthday

Shes turning 5 this coming week and I was thinking of bouncy house or bouncy slide. I have some money stashed away for this so not worried about cost. I know she has some cousins that will be there and probably family friends kids.

Mind you this could be my potential step daughter in the future so I cannot mess this up. But maybe those are too big for a 5 year old? What could I do?

That would be mega-fun! Add a spinkler, so they can cool off. OAITW r.2.0 Aug 2022 #1

They have a few that combine slide and water. Its kinda pricey but shes a kid after all.

I do have great nieces, 3 and 6 now.

Last year they hired a team for pony rides, the kids loved it. Just a suggestion.

Good luck, vercetti. I think you would make a great step dad.

Get the ponies and some cowgirl hats and head gear. Winner!




Unless of course you live in the city...might not go over so well.

She is adorable! But I live in a city yes so I'm not sure how her parents would be either since its gonna be all on their property.

Kids can get injured in bouncy houses. Find a provider that carries liability insurance, or have parents sign waivers.

kids have ridden ponies or been around ponies at all. I think ponies would be a huge hit. I assume any pony poop would be scooped up by the business that brought the ponies.
