Bounce Bounce

Today since Austin was off we brought Colby to a Bounce House place. We had never been nor had he ever been in an inflatable before. I knew he would love it though! He loves bouncing on the beds and couches. He also is so full of boundless energy. I figured with Austin being with us it would be a fun time to check out a new place.

I heard about this place called the Bounce Spectrum in Metairie. It is basically a HUGE room filled with about 9 or 10 big inflatables. It ranges from spacewalks, to slides, to basketball goals. Colby was ooohing and ahhhing when we walked in. He right away wanted to play. He was a little timid at first though he didn't want to be in one with other kids. After about 15 minutes he somehow found his snack and sippy cup and just wanted to sit and snack. We let him have a break which he also went to the potty! First time in public! After we sorta had to force him back into it. I knew he would love it though if he would relax just about like everything else. Austin finally took him down some of the bigger slides and he got such a kick out of it. After Austin playing with him for awhile he got really into it. He played hard for about an hour. He was climbing in and playing by himself by the end and the other kids didn't scare him. I am so glad we found out about this place! Its such a great place to go on a rainy or hot day! It was also very clean and organized. We went when they opened at 10 and stayed until about 11:30. They closed at noon for a field trip which I liked. They let you know when field trips will be there so you aren't stuck there with a bunch of crazy older kids. Most of the kids there today were under 8. Also the place was so big Colby mostly was able to have an entire inflatable to himself!

After playing hard we decided to eat lunch at McAlister's before coming home. We came home and Colby went right down for nap. We actually didn't hear him play at all today. Which was my goal to tire him out so he would rest well at naptime!

It was great having Austin around this afternoon we ate an early dinner. He cooked chicken alfredo for us so we ate then took a nice stroll around the block. Once we got home we bathed Colby because he was so dirty but it wasn't quite his bedtime yet so we let him watch Wonder Pets before bed! We both love days when daddy is home! They are so special!
