Monkey Joe's

Last Friday Haven got to spend the day with cousin Charlee.  Haven was quite excited especially when I told her I was taking the girls to Peoria to a place called Monkey Joe's: a kid's inflatable bounce house dream!  Those two crazies went 110 mph for about 2 hours and loved every minute of it!  Honestly, it was manageable for that length of time...even though I'm pretty sure I took the girls on a "no-school" parent/teacher conference day...what luck :)
It's a great way for kid's to burn energy and get great jumping/motor skill balance...many of the bounce houses had climbing walls inside the house that then led to a slide or two :)

the first slide down...when they were not yet screaming & picture-friendly :)

 smiles were plastered on their faces most of the morning :)

I failed at several attempts of getting these two monkeys in a picture. together. going down the same slide.

 a good friend, Tracy, & her son Jude came along as well...while he had a swell time in his bounce-houses, I'm sure he's had enough of 2 energetic almost-4 year olds!

 He's such a cutie!

lunch at Avanti's after

and...why not get some McDonald's ice cream for the road trip home?!
