A Day For Play

Yesterday the kids had the President's Day holiday.  So there was no school, and even some (Jason) had no work.  The weather didn't want to cooperate as you can see.

So we were trying to figure out what to do to keep the kids busy and not fighting!

We found a solution finally.

Downtown in the industrial area there is a big warehouse and when you walk inside there are lots of kids!  Here is a first glimpse.

Can you tell what it is?  The whole room is full of bouncehouses and climbing areas.  That big green and red bubble in the middle is like a huge trampoline.  The parents bring their kids and just let them play.  There is an area for the parents to sit back at tables and watch their kids.  The place sells drinks and snacks for all....at really good prices.  They don't try to gouge you.  It's quite unique.  I guess that's what happens when winters are full of snow, they come up with great alternatives!  The place even provides free wifi.  I saw lots of parents sitting with their ipads and smartphones working.

So we spent about 3 hours there and the kids had a really great time.

Some of the pictures came out blurry.  I tried to take some when they came down the slide, but none of them came out well at all.

Since Jason had the day off he decided to have some fun too.

I think he had more fun than the kids!

After all the kids were tired out we headed for home.  On the way we stopped in to have an early dinner.  We stopped at Chic Fil A.  Of course, they have a playground for the kids there also.  So after dinner was finished the kids headed in to play some more.  Katie came out when she saw her favorite character wandering up and down the aisles.

She loves this cow!  This was about the 20th hug.

Everyone slept well last night after all that work!
