Bouncin' Kidz

Today the kids and I headed over to Bouncin' Kidz along with some other moms and kids from MOPS. The kids had a blast jumping and running and screaming. (Even I enjoyed the several rides down the enormous slide with Aiden).

Here Aiden is playing with the "Mini Sports Station." Air was flowing through the red cone which made the plastic balls float in the air so kids could hit them with the baseball bats. He loved it - he couldn't understand why the balls were floating around at first!

Mikaela was not even scared of this huge slide and kept running up and sliding down over and over again. Even a few times on her tummy. She would have gone head first I'm sure if she would have been allowed! Aiden and I went down together over and over and over - I didn't think he would ever want to stop, but eventually he went back to some of the other toys.

Here is video of her going down (try to ignore the people walking in front of me! :(

And one of Aiden jumping around:

He actually enjoyed some of the other toys better than the unstable jostling of the bouncing things:

And then I was happily surprised how well my children can play together when they want to - I call this one "I'll push you, if you push me.":

Afterwards, we walked across the parking lot to a private museum with hundreds of animals that a man has hunted/stuffed throughout the years. Honestly, I really didn't know what to expect, but was happily surprised by how amazing it was. The only thing I can compare it with is the stuffed animals at Cabela's but on a much larger scale. There were grizzly bears, deer, moose, cougars, cheetahs, buffalo, antelope, lions, zebras, crocodiles, and much much more.

Singing for Daddy

So Andy just got back from a trip down to Tallahassee, FL for business. Unfortunately, his first flight back was delayed and so he missed his connecting flight from Atlanta to Detroit. Thankfully, he had someone to give him a ride home because he didn't end up getting back home until after 1am. I'm not sure the kids (or me either for that matter) would have made the drive all that well!

So needless to say, he's pretty exhausted today and had to go into work anyway. So as a surprise for him, I had the kids say a few words and sing a few songs on recordings. Then I got to thinking you may like to hear them too!

I found out that you can't just upload an audio file so had to add pictures to it...hope you enjoy!
