Jumping Craze

For a friend's birthday today we had the priviledge of going to a "house" of bounce houses. I can be honest when I say I've never seen so many inflatables in one building before. It was a fun time to be with friends and watch the little ones go crazy with the slides and climbing apparatus. Of course, Will had to do all the work since you weren't going to catch me catapulting myself throughout the carnival of playthings. Mikayla jumped right in but Tyler needed a little time to adjust. After a little while, he had fun sliding down the slide (with daddy) and climbing in and out of the houses.

The party came complete with 2 rooms of bounce houses and then pizza and cupcakes afterward. It was a great time for the kids and grownups and we managed to take many pictures. Half of them didn't turn out great due to the excessive movement by the children but there were a few redeeming shots from the day. These first two were a series of pictures taken by Will and then put together to form panoramas. Will is pretty proud of this accomplishment. I think it looks pretty cool.

Here are the jumpers. It's amazing to get a picture of everyone looking at the camera but this one came out pretty well.

Mikayla's favorite part were the "fast" slides. Each slide was accompanied by a Mikayla-sized scream to emphasize just how fun it was.

Tyler sliding with daddy. Daddy started getting tired after a while but Tyler was an energizer bunny and kept wanting to go again and again.

Here's the brave soul going down the slide all by himself. At the bottom, he shook his head back and forth, making it very clear that this would not happen again.

All in all, it was a great morning. Thanks Zach and Jenny! Happy Birthday Alex!
