A Little Monkeying Around

March 14 is Cam and Syd's ACTUAL 5th birthday (see The Little Gym post below!). We were lucky to be able to spend it with them at a new place, Monkey Joes! It was GREAT. There were tons of huge inflatables that the boys LOVED to play on. It wasn't too crowded at all (and we were there on a Saturday around 4). We found a place to sit and the boys and girls would just check in with us every so often! They even had a small place for Luke to play!

Here is Luke in action. It took him a while to warm up, but he loved to run and jump once he got going!
Here is Nick on the huge slide! Notice the girl in the referee shirt? They had lots of employess all over the place! It was SO much better than another bounce place, called Bounce U.
I grabbed this picture of Jack while we were chatting with Bob and Angie. Jack LOVED this big obstacle course inflatable! When he would be gone for a little while, this is the place we always checked first!
The four "big kids" posed for a picture by Monkey Joe. It turns out that they have a real Monkey Joe character that comes out every once in a while to greet the kids. This turned out to be the perfect time to leave as 4 of the 5 kids didn't like him too much. Jack is the only one who was a fan. After all the bouncing we headed over to Fortell's pizza for dinner! Thanks to Angie for bringing bags o fun for the kids to play with. Eating out was actually quite nice! :)
I definitely think we'll be heading back to Monkey Joes for more bouncing fun!!!
