Bounce-U

Yesterday we found Bounce-U. You see, Jackson's pre-school class went to Pump-It-Up last year and ever since then he keeps asking us if we can go. It's a big place with blow-up bounce houses and stuff in it that kids can play on. The mostly reserve it for parties, but a couple days week they have "Open-Bounce." The days and times that you can go do NOT work for our schedule so we never get to go. I belong to a group called Central Valley Mom's and they had advertised the Grand Opening for Bounce-U (some time ago) in Fresno...way out on Brawly. I went on their website and found that they have Open Bounce on Saturday mornings from 8-9:30. I decided this Saturday to take Jackson and so we go up early and headed to Bounce-U. Dad came along too and boy was it great! When we got there we discovered that we were the only ones who showed up for Open Bounce and so Jackson got the whole place to himself. Not only that, but they have an employee (teenager) who jumps around and play with the kids. So Jackson got a personal playmate too. His name was Brandon and he was awesome with Jackson. He played basketball with him, dodgeball with him, raced him through the obsticle course. They played air hocky, and bounced A LOT...for an hour and a half.

Since we were the only ones there, we met the owner and talked with him for a while. He said sometimes they cancel Open Bounce if no one shows up...we assured him that next time we'll bring some friends along.

The ages say 2 - 65 years...So Lou and I even got in on the fun. They have a boxing ring with these huge boxing gloves...Jackson couldn't even lift them they were so heavy. I hate the picture Lou took of me in this head gear thing, but he made me keep it.






This giant slide was so fun. They went on this a bunch too.

Anyway, we had a fun time. Kelly...if you're reading we want you and the boys to come next time. Jackson asked that day if we could take Micah, Jacob & Ben along. It doesn't cost very much and it's a lot of fun.
