This weekend was a good taste of our summer to come. We started off by looking for an indoor activity, since our parks are off limits after 10am due to it now reaching an easy 105 degrees by that time. The slides and swings will brand any bare skin with a sizzling welt, so we avoid them at all costs.
8am Saturday we loaded our car and took a short drive to Lake Havasue City where we found a delightful destination at “Bubba Jumps Bounce House” hey its indoor, air-conditioned, clean, and all about kids. For six bucks an hour the kids are free to bounce and paly to their hearts content! And to top it off there are big comfortable couches for the parent to sit and watch from. It is a small bit of parent-paradise.
Sunday started with church which is always refreshing for the soul but often quite entertaining with two little ones. Lily has once stood on the pew and yelled to my mom sitting two people down “ do you have a da-gina Gigi?” or just the general fit throwing during a quiet prayer gets my day going. After church my parents asked Lily on a date to the Movies, where they watched Mr. Poppers Penguins. While they were out on their date my sister and I returned to my 76 degree air-conditioned home as a retreat where we ate lunch and lounged around while Colin napped. We chatted about how much we wished her water would break or contractions would start hard and heavy. We are so ready, she is so ready. I’m pretty she is so uncomfortable she has forgotten her fears of childbirth and will do anything for that boy bundle to be born.
Although it looks like we will do a lot of indoor lounging this summer we have a small vacation planned and new born baby to enjoy, so it will be plenty full.
Here are a few fun photos of the kids at “Bubba Jumps”
