Meet the family

We bought the first one for our own kids.

That was it. No business plan, no spreadsheet — just a castle in the backyard, because three kids and a Connecticut summer is a lot of days to fill.

Then a neighbor asked if they could borrow it for a birthday. Then somebody else did. Then we got a call from a family we'd never met, because a friend of a friend mentioned we had one. Dean would load it into the truck on a Saturday morning and set it up in somebody's yard. Deanna would have it cleaned and folded back up by Sunday night. And it kept happening, until we finally admitted we were running something.

So we did it properly. Licensed. Insured. More units, a real trailer, a schedule.

But the standard never changed, because it never needed to. Every single thing we own started as something we bought for our own kids to play on. We clean them the same way we did when they were only ours. We still won't send out anything we wouldn't set up in our own backyard on a Saturday.

That's the whole company.
