What a day!!! We had such a great time and the kids got to experience something a little new (at least to them).....DONUTS!! Yes, I know...we have not exposed our children to donuts and they're already 2 1/2 years old! Bronson and I thought it would be a good day to do just that. Especially since where we planned on taking them, they would burn up all that extra "energy".
Above is a glimpse of what Mollie looked like on her first bite. As she began to chew, her eyes got wide and she couldn't get the second donut hole in her mouth fast enough! It was hysterical!! She kept stuffing them in her mouth that at one point, Bronson and I thought we were going to have to get her to spit it all out.
Elise took hers nice and slow.....but she was keeping count on how many we allowed each of them. Once she put one in her mouth, she would say (or try to say), "another please!" She wanted to make sure she had one waiting when she swallowed the previous one. That's my baby girl!
Oh and Preston.....just like his Daddy! He liked to actually taste each donut. I had to go ahead and give him all of his up front or the girls would have eaten his as well! They're fast eaters (like their Momma). At least he thoroughly enjoyed them!
Then off we went to
Bouncin' Bears!! This is a facility large enough to house 9 to 10 HUGE
bouncies!!! They do have a toddler area for kids 3 and under; however, Mollie wasn't having any of that. She would run around with the bigger kids. She could do just about everything they did from
climbing up huge steps that lead up to a long slide all the way to "rock
climbing" on another bouncy. She was insane! It was so hard for Bronson and I to keep up with her. One minute she would be on one bouncy, the next she would be on another at the other end of the building! One of us had to chase her while the other stayed with Elise and Preston.
Elise had a great time as well. She wasn't as challenging as Mollie. She liked the toddler area. In fact, her favorite bouncy was in that area; Dora and Boots. She even hugged the thing several times! At one point she was afraid of the bigger slides and we had to ride down with her. But after a while, she braved them herself. There is one huge bounce area that rests on the ground. She was terrified of that! We had to hold her the whole time.
Preston, as always, was somewhere in between Mollie and Elise. He chased after Mollie a lot. But then was too worn out so he would go his own way. He did stay in the bigger kid
bouncies for a majority of the time. He needed a little help with getting up the big slides....but ended up managing to do a lot of others himself. He LOVED the one bouncy on the ground. He would stay on that thing for quite some time.....which meant that one of us (Bronson or myself) would have to hold Elise while on there. We definitely could have used three people, but I think a lot of parents were understanding and helped us when we were being pulled in three different directions. We didn't worry about it too much. They were visible to us no matter what area they were in. It was just getting to them quick enough if they fell. We spent most of the morning and into the afternoon at
Bouncin' Bears. We even went back after the kids had their lunch and nap. Needless to say, they wore off all the sugar those donut holes provided!
After a good hour and a half of bouncing....we were off to Chick-
Fil-A for dinner and to watch our babysitter and friend, Haley, enter in a singing competition. She did really well and the kids were excited to see her sing. The cow was there to greet them and there were several of our other friends they played with. It was the perfect ending to a perfect day!!!
