Fun At The Jump Around

We visited The Jump Around again the other day. The boys enjoyed the toddler area just as they had on our first visit.

What cuties! I love this pic of them sitting inside the little house!

Benjamin picked up the red ball he is holding soon after we walked in a carried it around for quite a while therefore it ended up in several pics.

Oh no! What's happened to Benjamin? I think he's going to be alright.

We need to invest in some bean bag chairs for our house - the boys love playing with these.

I shot some footage of Benjamin climbing up on this small playground and Nathan hiding in the bean bag chairs.

Here's Benjamin running around in the big area.

The boys had visited the Jump Around with just Dad once since I had taken them and when Dad encouraged them to be more adventurous and try the big bouncy castles and slides they did - and loved it. Now they are going everywhere! These two castles are smaller and are located inside the toddler area.

This is my new favorite pic of Benjamin. I'll say it again - I love those eyes!

Taking video in the bounce castles can prove to be quite a challenge but I managed to get a little bit of footage without hurting myself or the camera.

They had added another castle since I had been there before. This one was a jungle theme with big tall trees for the corner posts.

You can see the tree in the corner behind Nathan in this pic.
Nathan is peeking out at me from the biggest castle/obstacle course.

The boys still need help getting to the top of the slide (I'll admit that climbing up on the straps and steps is a bit tricky even for an adult). So I put the boys up at the top of the slide and then asked them to wait for me to get back down in front of the slide so I could get video of them sliding down. They never waited though. Oh well. We'll have to go as a family sometime and then snag that video. Here's a still shot of them after they slid down.

Nathan enjoyed playing inside this bouncy maze thing. I don't know if it's just the blue shirt or what but this pic of him next to the big mushroom makes me think of Smurfs (which I loved as a child).
Nathan later decided to tackle the shroom.

At the other end of the maze there are the big tires for you to step in and across.

I can imagine that it would be a lot easier to do if the tires don't come up to your knees. As fast as Nathan is shooting up these days that may be next month.

I stood outside the bouncy obstacle course for this video so the camera work is a little steadier. They must have worked their way through this thing a dozen times.

Here's some still pics of the adventure as well.
This makes a great "end" pic for this post.

The Jump Around - Bean Bag Chairs

Another thing that the boys really enjoyed at The Jump Around was these three bean bag chairs in the front area. They were so cute plopping down in the chairs, hiding under them, and covering each other up with them. Benjamin makes a Nathan taco.

I think they're working together here to cover up Benjamin.

Nathan finally gets him comletely hidden and Benjamin loved it.

Guess who....it's Benjamin!
When I was a kid I had a big bean bag chair that I would completely hide under and it would drive my miniature dachshund, Lady, absolutely crazy. She would run around and around the chair trying to find me. It was too funny. Looks like the boys inherited their mom's love of hiding under a bean bag chair ad they don't even have a dog.

If only these chairs came in my size - I'd probably would join my sons.

As cute as the boys were sitting down next to each other in the chairs...

they were even cuter trying to stand up again. They looked like a couple of little old men trying to get off a low couch or something. This just goes to prove that getting up out of a bean bag chair is a challenge at any age.

We look forward to many more visits to this place.
