Sport Bounce

On Monday I took the kids out to Sport Bounce so Wesley and Lydia could get some exercise. I packed lunches and fed them in the car. I forgot my coupon from the Entertainment Book that would have gotten one of them in for free. It is $10 for the first kid and $8 for the second. I think we will go back soon and use the coupon.

This was our second trip to Sport Bounce. We last went in January 2009 so Wesley and Lydia didn't remember going there. This slide is new and I love the look of it.
Wesley and Lydia really liked it because it was so fast.
I nursed Josiah while sitting on a bench near the entrance. Wesley and Lydia came over to check in a few times. There is also a tv, showing cartoons, at the check-in counter that Wesley was very interested in watching even though he couldn't hear it. I really don't understand why the people at the desk feel it is necessary to keep on the tv.
There is a second big slide in the corner.
This is about as high as Wesley got on the rock climbing wall but he wanted me to take his picture.
Josiah fell asleep again after nursing.
I liked this basketball game but neither Wesley nor Lydia were interested in it. I think they just didn't want to stand still to play.
This moonbounce had a small maze and a slide. There was another one with a larger obstacle course. There was also just a regular moonbounce for jumping.
It was good to get out of the house and get some exercise especially since it was too hot to play outside.

Was that the Sport Bounce in Ashburn? Looks like it. Steve and Sammi are going there Friday morning, I think. We took her there during one of the snowy days this past winter, and she had a ball! Great place to get kids' energy out!

Funny, we just went this morning! I think half of NoVa had the idea to get there on this rainy day as it was packed.

I thought about blogging about it but my review wasn't as positive. With no coupon and 3 kids, it was pretty spendy at $26.

Plus, it was impossible to keep up with all 3, which is okay, but I didn't like that there was no security around the exit - a kid could easily push up the door and bolt.

The worse part was, after 45 minutes, I found my older two parked on the floor in front of the TV! I did not pay $26 for you guys to watch TV!

I'm with you - it makes no sense to have a TV running in a place where parents specifically bring their kids to run around. Last time we went, I found W. hiding in the nearest moonbounce so she could watch TV w/o me catching her (maybe the moral is my kids don't watch enough tv? hardly).

I think the no eating thing works against us - they got hungry and ran out of fuel.

With it being so loud and me having to do laps looking for everyone, I left feeling a bit frazzled.

They claim to have loved it, but it'll be a while before we return.

I do love that I'm (finally) getting good naps out of the younger two.
