Pump It Up!

I took the boys to Pump It Up on Tuesday. We had a blast!

Sam and Toby have been there for a birthday party before, but never for free-play. Since it's been so hot outside lately, I thought Pump It Up would be a great place to go to burn off some of that never-ending energy the boys have.

Toby wasn't so sure about the massive blow-up arenas at first...but he eventually loosened up and had a great time. This is what the boys did for 30 minutes straight:

When Toby got a little more brave, he decided to follow Sam and climb on the middle of the "bouncy track." This is what happened:

P.S. - Toby got the scrape on his chin at the pool on Sunday...not from that tumble!

Before I took the boys to Pump It Up (or Monkey Joe's, which is very similar but larger and more expensive), I had visions of hundreds of rambuctious children running around the gym screaming and trampling Sam and Toby to a pulp.

It's not like that at all.

If you arrive at Pump It Up when it opens for free play at 9:30am, there aren't many people there. When the boys got tired after about an hour-and-a-half of bouncing, we went home, ate lunch, and they took great afternoon naps!

At Pump It Up, Children under 3 play for free and an all-day pass for Sam was only $7! I think we'll put that activity into our weekly rotation :)

I love the video of Sam bouncing Toby off the middle! It looks like they had a great time!
