Jump!

Today we went to a birthday party for two of Liam's friends, Charlotte and Levi. It was the most fun I have had at a children's birthday party! They had it at a place called Bounce Town. It was this big warehouse filled with inflatable bounce houses, slides, mazes, etc. This was Liam's first time to jump around in a bounce house.

Being the neurotic mom that I am, I was a little nervous that some of the bigger kids might trample him. Or that he might fall out and hurt himself. Or that he might barf everywhere. But he had the best time! In fact, he pretty much left the place kicking and screaming. Since the place has "an open gym" time every week for a low cost, I don't think that it will be our last time there.


It took him a little time to adjust to the mazes, but pretty soon we were chasing after him, struggling to keep up!


Parents could go in the bounce areas too. Although since most of the kids were a little older, there weren't that many in there.

If you have never seen a kid learning how to jump, it is hilarious! Liam couldn't quite figure it out at first. He would bend his knees and expect the ground to give.

Slam dunk thanks to Daddy's efforts!

Liam wanted no help going down all the slides.



During the birthday group photo, Liam decided that he would no longer sit down. Not while there were slides to slide, bounce houses to bounce in.

Allison and Raelyn made these super cute headbands for the kids to wear.

Adorable cupcakes!

Sitting like such a big boy eating his cupcake and drinking his Capri Sun. I didn't even know he knew how to drink a Capri Sun!

And just because I could!
