We were as prepared as we were going to be for experiencing Julyamsh. As we drove up to the Event Center I realized quickly there was one thing we were absolutely not prepared for. Bounce Houses. With water.
The kiddo saw the Houses immediately and of course perseverated on them until we could get there. Not only was it rather spendy for him to bounce (they were charging per house and you only got 5 minutes on the thing until you had to pay more), but we didn't have a towel with us.
Those dealing with Sensory Integration issues understand this predicament immediately. Wet clothing can be a VERY difficult thing to manage. My kiddo was trying to negotiate in the beginning: "Swimtrunks?" - no honey, you have to just wear your clothes. "Take your shorts (off)?" - no honey, you have to just wear your clothes. Once he got going, he had a ball. He did not however, take to the whole five minute limit rule (or even the 'you have to just stay on this one' rule).
I would like to say that after our time at the bounce house corner, we were able to walk around and look at all the art work and crafts, sit down in the shade and watch the dancers, get a bit of food and something to drink but we needed to head back home because nothing beyond the bounce house was going to happen today.
