Happy Mother's Day/ World of Bounce

I know I was not the ONLY mom at the world of bounce on Mother's Day, because we weren't the only ones there ;)  HOWEVER, Eric did set  us up for a great time!  He planned for us to go when they opened on Sunday morning, so as soon as Beanie got up, we got dressed and headed over.  Luckily (for a change) it is in IN Grove City, and our commute time was less than the time we stayed (which isn't always the case!)

We'd been talking about trying out the W.O.B. for a few months now--but their site http://www.worldofbounceparty.com/open_play.html always said "ages 2 to 90" or something like that.  Well, a couple of my friends informed me they'd seen MUCH younger kids in there, so I figured why not.

When we got there, I think there were only like three other people in there, but by the time we left (maybe 45 minutes later) it was getting busy.  When we walked in, there were SO many inflatables--I think 4 giant ones, and they all looked fun!

Without any hesitation, Amara took off up the big ladder/ steps.  I was only there behind her for support, but she held the rope and went up like a champ, and I bet it was a full story high!  At the top, she plunked right down and zipped down the side, crashing into the wall with laughter at the bottom.  Around the side and through the tunnels with no problems at all, only surfacing to yell "Again!" when she popped out.

I think we tried that particular course a few times before moving on.  They also had a GIANT slide--maybe 2 stories that I had to carry her up--but she LOVED going down!  The attendant told her to turn around and slide on her belly, which she did--and couldn't wait to get back to the top.

They also had something called the Colosseum, which had goal posts, basketball hoops, and a lot of open space and balls, which she loved.  We all had a fun time together in that one just jumping and putting on super-sized boxing gloves and falling and laying on the mats together.

The last bounce house thing was another obsticle course as such--it was smaller, and I think a little more closed in, where she couldn't see as well.  She didn't spend much time in there, but she did like the tunnel--well, going in was fun, whatever was on the other side made her turn around and come right back out, with dad chasing her ;)

After about 45 minutes, we were all sweaty and thirsty.  We headed out for a quick drink and apparently, Beanie was ready to go--since she grabbed her shoes on the way...we got them on and headed out the door, still very early on a Mother's Day Sunday, to enjoy the rest of our day.

Thanks Beanie and Eric for giving me such a great Mother's Day and moreover, the AMAZING reason we have to celebrate it.  Love you both.
