Jump Around, Jump Around

As we hit two months of summer freedom, I will have to admit: I am running out of exciting (and manageable) things to do. Obviously, we have been busy bees, but that is mostly for my sake to help pass the time of temporary single parenting until school starts and I know I will have a few hours a day to take a deep breath. I love letting my boys just play all day, but for sanity's sake, we also need to get out and do something at least once a day. 
Over the weekend, blog-turned-in-real-life-friend Karen and I were texting about getting together on Monday and decided it was the perfect time to try Flight Trampoline Park in Springfield, VA. 

Let me just tell you: SUCCESS.
This place was awesome. It was only about a 20 minute drive from our house (pet peeve about the DC area: nothing is easy to get to) and with the military discount it was $17 for both boys (and me) to jump. It is a huge warehouse full of trampolines, jumping pits and dodge ball courts. We happened to get there during Kids Flight so only only children 6 and under were jumping which was perfect since we didn't have to worry about big kids being too rough. The staff was also very attentive and does a great job walking around and reminding kids of the rules so no one gets hurt (and two Mommas who want to sit with babies and chat can actually catch up instead of hovering over big boys). 








We will definitely be heading back!

That place is so great! On the weekends they have awesome events for all ages, too! I take my brother and cousins there all the time when I'm on watch-duty! :)

yay! We love our trampoline park. We have toddler time too, it's great, don't have to worry about big kids being too rough with the littles and you can talk to friends a little easier when you don't have to worry about that aspect. :)

so fun! there is a trampoline park opening soon in our area and I know Elyse will love it! I think it will be the perfect activity for her to burn a little energy once Nora arrives!

We have a similar place in Buffalo that I've been to (without the kids). Not sure if you jumped at all or not, but I did about a year after having Taylor and I basically peed my pants ( I was prepared)!! Thanks, kids. Things don't work as well "down there" as they used to. Hahahahahahaha.

That looks like so much fun! We have a gym nearby that has some trampolines but nothing like that! Noah is still scared to bounce but I'm sure in a year he will love it!

My friend and I went to one of these places during my vacation. It was so awesome and a great workout! I definitely want to go again to one around here.

I think we are doing the same thing tomorrow. Summer is winding down for us. Only two weeks left.

That looks like so much fun! They are so cute :)

How cool! I love bounce houses and trampolines--not just because they keep our kiddos entertained, but because they often tire them out too! I'm glad you had a great time.
