Like I mentioned on Monday, we were planning to go to the pumpkin patch this weekend, but mother nature had a different idea of 'fun', aka: rain. So, instead, we decided to try out Sky Zone. Our friends told us about the toddler time on Sunday mornings and I was excited to finally get there with Drew. We had worked all Saturday around the house and he deserved some fun time.
As usual, my clumsy bug fell a lot at the beginning, but once he got the hang of it, he was in heaven.
They give you these orange socks with grippers on the bottom and it was just a $10 charge for toddler time, but the best part was that we didn't have crazy kids jump around him. Once the clock hit noon, however, the older kids rushed onto the court meaning we quickly scurried off.
They even had a foam pit and two basketball lanes.
In fact, they even have an adult deal on Friday nights with pizza and unlimited jumping. Derek and I are definitely considering dorking out and doing that for a date sometime. #nerds #yesiusehashtagsonmyblog #dealwithit
Since our visit, I've now heard 3 stories of kids breaking their legs there. The plans to have Drew's birthday party at Sky Zone might not happen now as it would kill me if he, or someone we know, broke their leg there! But I really don't want to scare you as it was really fun for Drew. If you go during toddler time, just find your own personal square, elbow other kids away and have fun!
That looks fun! Brielle's favorite part of gymnastics class is when she gets to go out to the "big kid" area and jump down their long trampoline into a bunch of foam lol.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so much fun! I love the idea of toddler time. And 3 broken legs since Sunday?! Oh my word!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like such a fun place! I would totally have my hubby take me there on a date, but knowing my clumsiness I would most likely be one who breaks my leg!
ReplyDeleteWe love Skyzone! We have one down the street form our house, and Parker loves going to toddler time there. Ours is only $6 though! I think you're gettin' robbed! Haha
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear you had a good experience with Parker, Julie!! I'm afraid to take Mace because my middle school kids are always getting hurt there! I would like to try toddler time.
DeleteWe have something similar called Defy Gravity. My boys have been with their trackout program, but I haven't taken them myself because I've heard of injuries as well. In fact, while my boys were there, another kid in their program got a concussion (busted heads with another kid I think?) and I think the program took that venue off their rotation. Glad to see you guys had fun though, and toddler time sounds like a much safer way to enjoy the place. I would totally ditch the kids and go myself one night, for the record :)
ReplyDeleteAlso? I totally did the hashtag hand gesture in my mind while reading that sentence. Ha!
My child would love this. I probably would not be able to get her to leave. I just searched to see if there was one close to us....3 hours away :( Sads.... Thankful for gymnastics class though!
ReplyDeleteWe do the toddler time at the bounce place here because if we didn't this mama would be going ninja on some older kids. The first time I took her I didn't realize and a kid tried to push her head first down the big slide. I nearly lost it.
And yes, a date there sounds so fun!
This looks like so much fun!! My niece is 2 and a half...I think she would absolutely love it.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun! We have a place like this called Jumping Country that my kids love and it is perfect for rainy days!
ReplyDeleteWe took our youth group there over the summer. It was a lot of fun. So glad you guys had a great time.
ReplyDeletewhat fun! Looks like he had a blast!! And I think my favorite part was "dorking out"! haha! I laughed out loud!! ;)
ReplyDeleteI wish we had a skyzone near us, looks like a ton of fun! Definitely a good date idea, not even a question! Glad little man liked it too!
ReplyDeleteI've heard these places are so much fun! It definitely looks like it.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to try a place like this! The dork in ME saw it on Keeping up with the Kardashians and it looked like so much fun! I definitely think a date night there would be awesome, plus you would easily burn off the pizza calories!
ReplyDeleteHave a great one!
Thank looks like a LOT of fun! We have something similar near us that maybe we will check out sooner than later! Thanks for sharing the fun activity!
ReplyDeleteI want to do this in the worst way! Maybe Scott and I will "check it out" first, and then take Marcus if we think he's old enough. :)
ReplyDeleteWe too love this place...maybe Adam and I more than the kids!?
ReplyDeleteI have never been...but it does look like a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to try this out since it opened! But 3 broken legs?!? That's scary.
