Jump N Jacks

Right after his birthday we took him to Jump N Jacks for the first time.  I was so excited and just knew he was going to LOVE it!!  Well.....it didn't go as well as I had hoped.  Aunt E tried to warn me that he would be overwhelmed by everything but did I listen, NO of course not :-).  We took him on a Friday afternoon about 4 which wasn't too busy since school was still in session.  But there were plenty of kids and all but one of them were WAY bigger than Gavin.  Another thing that didn't help was the noise.  All those fans running in an enclosed space make a lot more noise than you think.  I mean to an adult it wasn't that bad, but I am sure to Gavin it was super loud and scary.

I had forgotten my socks so Clay got in with him and tried to get him used to the idea.  There were only a couple of the bounce houses that were currently unoccupied so we went to the first one we saw which probably was not the most age appropriate.

This is how Gavin spent most of his time in the bounce houses, with a death grip on Clay.

We tried another that was a little more open and he didn't really seem to be impressed with this one either.

 So we decided to give it up for a while and just let him play in the baby area, which he absolutely loved!  Playing with all of those different toys and him being entertained was worth the money, for sure!!

We finally saw that the smallest of the bounce houses was open and decided to give that a try and it was much more successful.  I just thought this was the cutest picture!  Sweet little face :)

Cute video of him enjoying himself until he gets distracted by the "ladies".  I have a feeling we are going to be in trouble when he gets older :)

Another cute little girl he met at the baby area, apparently he likes them a little older.

All in all, it was a good time and we can't wait to take him back.  Next time though we will start out with the smallest bounce house and work our way up instead of the opposite :-).
