As you can see, we invited a friend over to play. They both had an outstanding time!
Cleanup was a little bit tricky without a hose...problematic since we live in an apartment with no backyard! So, we employed a trick we learned from the cleaners and used the fire hose from the stairwell!
I'm sure I looked quite amusing hauling and pulling to get it up the stairs and out onto the balcony. A few blasts with that cleaned the whole thing up. We then hosed the kids off in the shower, then mopped the floors inside (from them traipsing it all into the house) and it was all done!
