A day off school - Monkey Joe's


So yesterday because of the holiday MLK day, the boys were off school. And while they were perfectly content running around the house like crazy I decided to take them to Monkey Joe's. Before living in NC I hadn't ever heard of places like this. All inflatables inside, you pay admission and they bounce, jump, run, and slide as long as they like. All I could think to myself at first was "Why doesn't Illinois have something like this?" I mean it is SO cold there!
Well by NC standards it's been very cold here and the boys had a great time jumping and running around! It was a great time!

We have one of those here. At least I know we used to.

Looks like fun. They actually have a few places like that in UT now. Haven't been yet. I've heard it's a real blast.

I often say that phrase when looking for something to do in this area of Illinois. Especially in the winter! Glad that they had such a good time. AND when did Aricin grow three feet and look so much older? Wow, that really snuck up on me.

Your rock climbing pictures are great.....I used to love that activity....need to get back into it.
