We took the day to visit one of the area Kansas City shopping areas, Oak Park Mall. Â It was a fairly relaxing time strolling through the stores and making a couple of purchases. Â The real fun came when we hit the Merry Go Round. Â Cindy, Ethan, Alan, and I all piled into one of the “units,” it had to be the one with the handle in the middle so we could get it to spin around. Â I think we might have scared a few of the kids (or at least their parents) because we were spinning FAST!
After the Merry Go Round, we walked on up to the thing we’d been planning to do – the Giant Jumpy Thing (not sure of it’s actual name).
There was quite a line of people ahead of us, most of them under the age of 8, less than 3 feet tall, and weighing about 40 pounds! Â We were definitely the big guys of the group! Â We had to wait a long time to let the little ones have their turn before we were able to get hooked up.
After paying our $7, we walked through the gate to the scales. Â Yes, they had to weigh us so they knew how many bands to hook to us. Â We were each assigned our trampoline, strapped in, and the fun began!
Cindy didn’t jump BUT she did take video with my iPhone. Â I’ll get that posted as soon as I can.
Today, we’re staying in the hotel and I’m going to get some work done. Â I’m a little behind on some things and the paper work is starting to stack up! Â It’s raining in Missouri and the temperatures have turned cold (but no snow in the forecast). Â It’s a good day to stay inside.
