Summer Fun to Beat the Heat!

I can't believe summer is almost over and school starts in almost 2 weeks! Craziness! I can't believe I still haven't blogged about our San Francisco and Utah trip back in June. I'm not sure what the chances are it will ever make its appearance on here. . . . We'll see.

But for now I just have some pics to share (although not the best because they were just taken on my phone) of the fun we got out to have today and last week to beat this awful heat. It's either stay inside or go play somewhere fun indoors for us. Well, I take that back, I have managed a few trips to the park in the last month or so. One wasn't too bad but whoooeeeee not so pleasant this time of year. Especially this heat that has hit us this last week or so!

We met up with our friends and had a great time last week at Just Add Children. It's always fun to have a friend to chat with while your kids play! Despite the small room and the complete mayhem going on at times with kids getting hurt and taking toys etc. from each other we managed to stay for four hours and enjoyed our time. It started to slow down a bit after lunch and that was nice.

Checking things out when we first arrived. This I think was more of the toddler section.

This bouncy house and slide entertained the boys most of the time.

They also had a toy kitchen area, a dress up room, a pirate ship, a climing wall, airhockey tables and a game room with a wii and other consoles. Luckily, my boys didn't make their way into that room until near the end.

This little guy hung tight for awhile and just watched everything going on. When it calmed down a bit and there wasn't really anyone in this little bounce house I put him in and he had a ball!

I didn't get a good shot of this but he was just a giggling!

Little Cutie!

The boys enjoyed the bouncy house at Just Add Children so much I wondered if they'd have as much fun going to Pump it Up with lots of different bounce houses. So that is what we did today. At first when we went in they were a bit hesitant, especially Myer. They had a group in one of the play rooms so we had to stay in the one and Myer was having a hard time climbing up the stuff and was kinda not happy. I got a little worried that it may not be as fun as I hoped. Fortunately, we hadn't been there long and they had us switch rooms. The other room seemed to be a bit better for them to get into it. But man I tell you, these places can get crazy!

Myer finally took to going down this big slide and I think they spent the majority of their time going on this.

Zooming so fast, they are just blurs!

Then it was funny because after a bit they opened up both rooms and we went back to the other and Myer all of a sudden could climb up all the stuff like a pro! I guess he just needed lots of practice going up the one in the other room and then he got the hang of things.

Myer hopped in this little car and this little boy just came up and started pushing him around in it FAST! He liked it!

It ended up being lots of fun and I was happy to see my boys having fun for most of those three hours!
