Bouncing off the Walls

12.22.09
For our "Christmas Eve Activity," we decided to go to Bouncing off the Walls . My Mom and Derek had been the weekend prior for our friend Delaney's 4th birthday party and said it would be a great place to take Trey and Tian! They were right! There were jump houses everywhere, toys galore, and enough space for our little guys to run around. Trey stayed with Derek for most of the afternoon while Tian and Grandpa Bend played together. Tian enjoyed riding in the push along cars, the jump ropes, and the toddler jump house! Tian and Grandpa Bend have a sweet, special bond that is so nice to watch!








I put my photography class skills to work. First, I tried to take most of my pictures inside Bouncing off the Walls in Manual. Also, I tried to take this picture through a net without demonstrating the net. I think the only obvious place in this picture where the net can be seen is in the top left hand corner.







(Grandpa Bend taking Tian up the big slide. Notice the sign off to the right of the picture which states, "Adults. DO NOT CARRY children up the ladder." After we read this, Grandpa Bend and Tian came off the ladder!)





Justin and Robert hanging out, watching the boys and chatting.


Funny how Tian's favorite "car" to play in was the Police car. He especially loved Grandpa Bend to push him in it. A little true to life Dad, wouldn't you think?!


Trey is pretty brave!




Trey and Derek racing. Personally, I think Trey started a little too early.

Tian and one of his favorite uncles Robert! Robert is always willing to come on adventures with us and the boys while we are in town. We really appreciate how naturally and willingly he has molded into the perfect uncle role model.

After playing for a few hours, it was off to Pizza Hut for some yummy pizza and delicious buffalo wings. Trey enjoyed the juke box and the air hockey table. Tian wanted desperately to take a stab at the arcade games, finally I gave in and let him try a hunting one.
Bouncing off the Walls is something we will return to over and over again! We think the boys really loved it!

So GREAT.. this post is!
Dad needs to see it! I love the pictures of Bob/Dad with Tian. Yes, we like to break rules when we get together...(Trey going head first down the slide, Bob taking Tian up.. sort of like at the Reindeer farm!)
