Bouncing Into the New Year!

We spent New Year's Eve at Owen and Ellie's (and the rest of their family) house this year. They got a bounce house for Christmas so the kids were occupied all night! It was great because the adults were able to hang out while the bounce house entertained the 5 and under crowd!

We even spent the night and our big boy opted to sleep in the TOP bunk of Owen's bunk bed! I was a little nervous, I mean just a couple weeks ago he was in a crib and now he's sleeping in top bunks?? What happened to my baby??!!

The kids made it to 9:30 and the parents made it to 12:01. We're rock stars :-)

Erik extended his holiday break by one more day, so we decided to try out Bounce World. That place is awesome! All of the bouncers are big enough for adults, so I'm not sure who had more fun, me or Kade? We'll definitely be going back, especially in the middle of the week when we'll basically have the place to ourselves! Of course, of all the activities it had to offer, Kade chose to spend a lot of time at the basketball hoop! Not that I'm complaining :-)

Picture #1: Miniature Percy Harvin's. Those 2 thought they were pretty cool in their matching jerseys!

Picture #2: Enough said :-)

Picture #3: Ellie, Owen and Kade trying out O&E's new sleeping bags.

Picture #4: Making the big climb to the top of the slide.

Picture #5: A bounce house in the shape of a skid loader?! Kade's dream come true!! Kade's second favorite part of Bounce World.

Picture #6: The inside of the skid loader--bounce house style.

Picture #7: All that effort to climb to the top and the slide down lasts about 5 seconds. Totally worth it!

Picture #8: The basketball hoop. I promise Erik was there too! He actually took pictures, instead if me, this time! :-)

Picture #9: One night, Kade chose to sleep with a Gopher stocking cap on his head (all night too, I tried to take it off after he fell asleep but couldn't without moving him!), a Viking's football and a basketball. Can you tell he likes sports?!
