PUMP IT UP!

The kids were invited to a birthday party at a place called Pump It Up. It was GREAT! There were two separate rooms with giant inflatables and you get about a half hour in each room, and then you end up in the party room for pizza and drinks, cake, and opening presents. The employees were fantastic! They run around with the kids, make sure everyone is involved in stuff, etc. They even made sure they were entertaining the two "babies" that were there bringing over balls, adn giving them rides in the Little Tykes car. My kids LOVED this place. LOVED IT! And I have to admit, I had a ton of fun, too! (that's right! They let the adults play, too!)

Here's the card I made for the birthday girl, Carina


Here's Jared going down a small slide after climbing up the climbing "wall" on the backside


Jared again! Out of control down another, longer, slide

Here's Connor with one of the big balls they brought out for him and the other 16 month old little boy that was there. The boys RAN AND RAN AND RAN chasing these balls around!!!


I took Connor down the GIANT slide several times on my lap, which he LOVED. He would laugh so hard and then SCREAM when we'd get off at the end because he was mad and wanted to do it again. I got a little winded hauling him up the "ladder" so many times, so had Dan take him up. And Dan sent him down by himself! (which Connor loved!)


Then he came down with Emily on his lap


Emily and Connor and I all came down together


Here's Connor taking matters into his own hands and attempting to get up the ladder on his own (I stayed right behind him the whole time just in case)


See? I told you the employees were good at entertaining everyone! Connor got TONS of rides around the room in this car!




Group picture! (If you look closely through the netting under the "LML" you can see Connor, he crawled off Em's lap and then into the inflatable so isn't exactly in teh group pic afterall...LOL)
