This year in early September my two business partners and I opened the Inflatable Fun Gym. It has been an adventure to say the least. Earlier in the year, my friend Sheri, who owns an outdoor bouncy house rental company, approached my Tiki Hut business partner Natasha and I and asked if we might be interested in opening an indoor play place for children in Hermiston. Shave-ice AND bouncy castles? Of course we said yes! It seemed like a match made in kid heaven. The rest is history!
The front door of our business. The red polka-dot wonder.
This is the area where we put all of the inflatables. You wouldn't believe how difficult it was to find just the right angles so they would all fit in there. That one on the right is called the 'Bucaneer'. It has some pretty dicey pirates on the side, but its a family place, so we made sure to order it 'wench' free.
This is our main play area. Complete with train table, tool table, plastic kitchen, glitter track for Little Tykes Cars and the works!
Little Tykes going for a ride on the glitter track. You can't see it sparkle too well in pictures, but it person it's pretty sparkle-tacular.
This is a picture of our dragon mascot 'Smokey'. This and most of our other wall mural's were painted by Troy Miracle resident of Hermiston and painter of bowling alleys, etc. I worked with him a lot, and I can truly say that I have never huffed more spray paint fumes in my life.
Of course the place wouldn't be complete without Tiki Hut shave-ice. We created all sorts of new flavors for the Gym. You can even get the Tiki Hut shave-ice cake. It is awesome!
These are the new flavor combos you can get at the gym. Black Beard is by far the favorite. I still wish we would've done a 'Liger' flavor, or at least a Pegasus.
