Jumping Jacks

Today we wanted to do something fun since Karl didn't have to work. First we went to the Spanish Fork Cemetery and visited Karl's Dad's grave. Then we went to Jumping Jacks. This is a place that has a bunch of inflatable slides. We thought Kaleb would really have fun there. After the first 5 minutes we debated asking if we could get our money back since Kaleb wouldn't even go near the things. Instead we worked on coaxing and after we'd been there 15 minutes Kaleb was going on one of the little slides over and over. It was cool because he would go in and climb up the inflated wall. It was similar to a rock climbing wall, but a lot softer. When he got to the top he would slide down and run around to the start again.
Eventually we got him to try the other ones, and we spent a total of about 2 hours there, so we got our money's worth. Karl and I took turns helping Von climb up and then watching him turn around and slide down by himself. Some of the slides were a good 15 feet tall too. It was a fun activity.

Maybe I'll have to try it out on the evening of August 7th. (I'll be trying to induce labor that day)

We have one down south. A little boy broke his arm severly. The two forearm bones came out through the elbow. FYI!!!! We won't be going again.
