Santa had what he thought was a gift for Thing 1 and Thing 2 this year. What better to get for a couple of energetic boys than a Jump-O-Gym Toddler Trampoline Bouncer
Well, Santa didn’t do a good job planning it out. Ok, it was me. It turns out the bouncer doesn’t come with a pump! You can imagine the looks of disappointment.
Luckily, Suburban Aunt and boyfriend also had the same gift idea after spending two nights at our house. They got a full on moonbounce. And it came with an electric pump.
It goes from 
to 
in about 30 seconds.
Now we had two moonbounces, if I could just pump the other one up. I managed to find a pump which would work. How hard could it be to fill a toy up with air? In a word: very.
After 64 minutes of pumping, and pumping, and pumping, I learned that you do not pump up a Jump-O-Gym Toddler Trampoline Bouncer that looks like this
with a pump like this 
I would consider that exercise for the month.
Gifting a trampoline can certainly prove out to be a good one for all those teens and pre-teens as this age group enjoys trampolines the most. They just love the exhilarating experience of defying gravity and jumping high up in the air. You would just love to see them jumping high; this experience of trampolining is accompanied with a special workout for your foot muscles and shape up the body.
Haaa – this is hilarious! So it sounds like the only one who was exhausted at the end of the day was actually Suburban Daddy? :-) I’ll be honest, though … both of those toys look like a LOT of fun – do they make them for grown ups? How long would that take to inflate with a bicycle pump, I wonder?
