Today we went to a place that has giant inflatables to climb on. (I thought of Caleb.) They typically host birthday parties, but a couple days a week they have an open gym and anyone (who pays) can come play. We took our friends' girls with us. It was our first time visiting and we had a really good time.
They had a giant slide, a long obstacle course, a big bounce house, a football pass thingy, and some little push cars and hula hoops. It was difficult to get decent pictures because the lighting was bad and the kids were quick, but here are a few from our day. (Those are giant boxing gloves on Tyler's hands. He couldn't really hold them up well enough to use them, which was probably a good thing!)
After we were done playing, we went to the park for a picnic. After we ate the kids had enough energy to play again for a little while. They were pretty wiped out by the time we got home. It was a lot of fun.
Unrelated but noteworthy (to me):
I can't believe how much progress Tyler is making in his reading - even though school is out. Tonight he read a level 3 book (longer paragraphs, chapters), Fluffy Meets the Dinosaurs. The Fluffy books are pretty funny. When we read them, I typically read the book to him and he will read the spots where Fluffy is thinking. Tonight he read the entire first 2 chapters and I read Fluffy's thoughts, then we switched for the last chapter because Fluffy did most of the talking in chapter 3. And it was the first time he'd picked up the book! I did have to help him with words like "ancestor" and "extinct" but he was able to figure out most of the words himself. He also entertained the girls in the car today by reading The Foot Book and There's a Wocket in my Pocket. I think the latter is pretty impressive considering all the made up words!
