3) A moon bounce (bouncy castle, for our European friends)

Hey, I must live in Europe now! Funny I don’t recall
Vancouver Island being towed
around the Cape and deposited off the coast of Spain.
;)
I wonder if my friends in Washington (state) and Oregon use “bouncy castle”
or if it’s a Canadian thing.
Sorry about that, back to discussing what sounds like a fantastic event.

Ted,
Two things...
1) It is, and will be a fantastic event.
2) Having spent 2 years in England, and having a healthy taste for many tele’
shows, whose origin and association is more closely related to the ‘Queen’s’
English, the phrase “bouncy castle” has been flung about most prolifically,
regardless of the show’s specific geographic origin (I’m counting the Aussie’s -
and you Canadians - in the same category as the the Brits - I know, bad form on
my part). (I hope that I can be forgiven, please.)
That being said, I may have mistated the common usage for our more Northerly
neighbors. My apologees.
(I thought you guys would have given up the placid “bouncy castle” for the
exciting and culturally relavent, continental phraseology of “moon bounce.” But
hey, you folks to the North can call it whatever you like, just come bounce in
it.)
Have Fun!
C-Ya!
Rich
