Let’s Talk Bounce – Ideas, Advice & Backyard Awesomeness
🎉 From Our Family to Yours: How Bounce The Block Was Born (With a Whole Lot of Love and Inflatable Chaos)
Hi there! We’re the Keats family — parents, entrepreneurs, professional chaos managers (also known as mom and dad), and now proud owners of Bounce The Block — Libertyville’s freshest, funnest, and bounciest party rental company.
This whole wild ride started the way most great ideas do: with kids, caffeine, and the realization that birthday parties should be more fun and less stress. As parents of two wildly energetic little girls (Daisy & Chloe, we’re looking at you), we’ve attended our fair share of bouncy birthday bashes, school fun fairs, and “please tire them out before bedtime” playdates. And we thought:
“Why not bring the bounce to the block… and make it awesome?”
🏗️ Building a Dream (One Inflatable at a Time)
Starting Bounce The Block wasn’t just about launching a business. It was about creating something meaningful — a way for our family to serve other families, bring joy to our community, and yes, jump into the wonderful world of inflatables with both feet.
And jump we did. In the last few months, we’ve:
Picked out brand-new, top-quality units that range from wild obstacle courses to magical unicorn bounce houses
Argued over whether “Dolphin Drop” or “Wild Wave Run” sounded more epic (jury’s still out)
Learned way more than we ever expected about sandbags, stakes, vinyl care, and blower horsepower
Turned our garage into a party-planning command center
And watched our kids go absolutely bananas every time a new inflatable was delivered. (Let’s just say the UPS guy knows us very well now.)
Here’s a peek at our current lineup:
🦄 Unicorn Bounce House – For magical little dreamers
🐬 Dolphin Drop Slide – Water + speed = instant fun
🦖 Rex Rampage – Because dinosaurs and bouncing belong together
🌊 Wild Wave Run Obstacle Course – For the energetic ones (a.k.a. every kid ever)
🧁 Glitter Gallop – It’s pink, it sparkles, it’s basically happiness in inflatable form
💥 Bounce-a-Palooza – The name says it all
And that’s just the beginning — we’re constantly adding to the collection, so if you have a party theme in mind, odds are we’ve got the inflatable to match.
❤️ Why We Do It
We’re not a national chain. We’re a family right here in Libertyville. We’re at the grocery store. We’re riding bikes on the Des Plaines River Trail. We’re chasing toddlers through the park. We’re just like you — and that’s why we care deeply about doing this right.
Every rental we deliver is cleaned like it’s going to our own kid’s party (because that’s literally how this started). Every setup is done safely and thoughtfully. Every bounce house is part of our mission to bring more laughter, more smiles, and more unforgettable memories to our community.
Our goal? To be your go-to party partner — not just for this weekend, but for every birthday, reunion, school event, or spontaneous Tuesday celebration in the years to come.
🎯 Let’s Bounce, Libertyville
Starting this business has been one of the most exciting adventures our family has ever taken on. It’s been filled with late nights, loud giggles, and enough packing tape to wrap a small country — but we wouldn’t trade it for anything.
We’re here, we’re ready, and we cannot wait to bring the bounce to your block.
So go ahead — dream big, plan bold, and leave the fun to us.
🛡️ Yes, We’re Insured (Because Adulting Is Still a Thing)
We know that inviting a giant inflatable T-Rex into your backyard comes with a few questions — and we’ve got answers. Safety is our top priority, and that includes being fully licensed and insured for both liability and peace of mind. We’ve done all the grown-up paperwork so you don’t have to worry. Whether it’s a small backyard birthday or a big public event, we’ve got you covered — literally and legally. Fun should be carefree, and we’re here to make sure it stays that way.
From our family to yours… welcome to Bounce The Block. Let’s make some memories.
With love,
Brad, Louise, Daisy, Chloe, and the whole Bounce The Block crew
