The bounce House


We went to Jumpin' Jacks this morning. It's a place with huge inflatable slides and jumping things for kids. I like that it's 10 minutes from our house so we can go quickly and come home quickly if we need to.

Brennen slept while Sara jumped and slid. I need to take her to this place more often. It's only 4 bucks to get in and it's a good way for kids to wear out their energy and I think jumping and bouncing is good for their balance development (later for skiing). The kids that go really often know exactly how to bounce and land so that they get the maximum experience. Sara does not know how to do that yet.

There was a little girl there that Sara followed around. That little girl had 4 older brothers so she was pretty confident. Sara was afraid of the biggest slide but she did it once after watching this girl. I got a pic of her with my phone. She said she was really scared of it and didn't go on it again.

I think next week we will see if her little friends can come so she has someone to hang out with, I think that might make her less afraid too.

I can't wait until Brennan is old enough to jump and play too.

Wow, can big kids [grandmas] do this too? Never got to do THAT at 3 1/2!

Yep, Adults can go too! I wish I could have the childhood she is having. They didn't have half this stuff when I was a kid.
