Jump & Bounce

Last night we checked out the new West Jordan Jump & Bounce.  This facility isn't just for kids to go play in.  Anyone, young and old, are allowed to go on any of the inflatables.  The kids had a lot of fun.  Bryan and I did as well, but our energy just didn't last nearly as long as the kids.  It was a great workout for us and a great thing to do since it snowed, again...... and we are all getting tired of being cooped up in the house.  They had several inflatables with lots of climbing, sliding, falling, jumping, and diving going on.

 

 

Bryan, then Daniel, diving into one of the inflatables.  This entrance was particularly high off the ground and getting a running start and diving into it was the best way for Daniel to get into this thing.

 

New Ride........again!

We did it again.  We traded in the Explorer sport trac for a regular explorer.  The truck was a fun vehicle to have, but when it came down to having a vehicle that works for a mother's routine, it wasn't there.  So we went shopping and found an explorer that we really liked.  It has the enclosed back, along with a third rear seat, making it possible to transport two more people than the truck.  This will come handy on mutual nights and when we want to bring parents with us somewhere.  Plus is has a few other perks, like 4-wheel drive, moon roof, heated seats, and DVD player (which the kids are so excited about.  They have to wait for that long vacation drive to check that one out.)

Megan's turn to Cook

This week we were delighted to have Megan's cuisine of Mac & Cheese.  I'm glad she picked something easy.  I thought that Megan would be easier to work with, but she was harder.  She kept jumping ahead of me instead of doing things in the order that they needed to be done.  All in all, she had a good time and can't wait for her next turn.  She even mentioned later that night that she wanted to learn to be a better cook.
