Pump It Up

The kids were invited to a super fun Birthday Party at "Pump It Up" - an indoor bouncing house place. I had been wanting to try it out for sometime, but a little nervous to do it on my own as the only "open jump" times were during the week - so I was excited when we got invited to one of Tyler's (son of Dan's supervisor) party. The cool thing was we got the entire place to ourselves, they have it broken down into two rooms and we got 40 minutes in each room, followed by pizza and ice cream cake.

When we checked in at the front desk the guy informed me the minimum height requirement and as usual Zoe just barely met it - so he cautioned me to stay close as some of the little one's are ofter overwhelmed or frightened at first. As you can see from the pictures, Zoe (in the purple shirt and jeans) was not afraid at all. In fact she was one of the first ones to scale the wall to get to the slide. She only required a minor boost on her first try - then she figured out how to pull herself up using the loops and stepping blocks.
At first I was a little terrified of her eagerness, but then was proud of her for figuring it out all on her own. I even got to play with the kids and go through the obstacle courses and down the giant slide.

Here's the big slide from room #2 (Zoe is at the top)......

We enjoyed bouncing to the music and disco lights.....
I think we will be going to this place again as we all had a ton of fun, just wish we could figure out how Daddy can come with us next time.
