Kids love bouncing on trampolines. Kids love playing dodgeball.
Today, we’re going to tell you how to combine the two. It’s time to play trampoline dodgeball.
This is what it sounds like: A classic game of dodgeball, but with a trampoline involved. And it’s not something we’ve just made up. Credit for that goes to the father and son team of Rick and Jeff Platt, founders of SkyZone.
We normally use our blog to sing the praises of swing sets, trampolines and basketball hoops.
You know, fun things.But today we’re going to talk about something a little more practical: a vinyl storage shed, and why you might want to install one in your backyard.
Here are eight reasons to buy your first vinyl shed, a few of which are actually a little bit fun.
In the age of Netflix, iPads and the Nintendo Switch, getting kids to unplug and play outside might seem like more of a challenge than ever before.
One way to get kids to venture outdoors is by offering them books that are inspired by nature. Here are a few picks that will hopefully encourage outdoor play in your backyard this summer.
Today's kids have access to more information than we ever dreamed of at their age.
And we're not saying that's a terrible thing. The same system that lets your kids play Mario Kart and binge watch 10 straight episodes of SpongeBob also gives them unlimited access to arts, other cultures and unlimited educational resources.

That's why it's more important than ever to get kids outside, whether they're on your backyard swing-set, spending time practicing at the basketball hoop or off exploring your neighborhood.
Today, we'll look at ways to get your kids offline and outdoors, even if it's just for a few hours.
