Lehigh Valley Family Fun: May 2012

So I know we're all excited for warmer weather and a chance to get out and enjoy the sun. With that said I still like to have a plan for those summer days when the heat is absolutely unbearable, and I can't stand to sit in the house with the kids. It's on those days that I want the kids to run around without worrying about sunblock and heat exhaustion.

So I take my crazy little people to Bounce U in Allentown.

Bounce U is known by most people for their incredible Birthday Parties. Bounce U hosts the party for you and handles all the details so you can relax and have fun. We've been to Bounce U for a few birthday parties and group gatherings, but did you know about their OPEN BOUNCE?

There are several times during the week when you can bring the kids to play on all the amazing inflatable structures. When the weather gets too hot we will definitely be in there temperature controlled indoor playground.

Check out all the fun we had!

We started with batting practice.

Air flows out of the top of the cone and the air suspends the ball in place.

Then you can practice your swing.

Little lady practiced her swing over and over again. She has quite an arm!

While the baby just liked throwing the balls.

From there we moved onto the bounce castle with a very high ladder that the baby climbed without fear.

This was probably her favorite. Can you see how steep the incline is? It didn't slow her down a bit.

I couldn't believe how independent and confident she was. I was holding her hand before she began to slide. She pulled her hand away and went for it. She's so brave!

The second bounce castle we went to had a smaller slide and an area with giant pins that the girls loved to squeeze in between.

From there the girls just ran wild. I took alot of blurry pictures that day.

Of course the girls did allow me a few posed shots.

It wasn't long before both of the girls were tired out. But we didn't rest there, we moved from the red room to the purple room and climbed a giant inflatable slide.

I got this shot right before we slid down.

Another of the girls favorites were these soft cars.

But that really was the end for my sleepy heads.

They were exhausted, and my mission was complete.

Indoor fun on a hot day, check!

Lots of fun, excitement and laughs, check!

Two sleepy heads ready for nap time, check!

We will be headed back to Bounce U in a few weeks for a birthday party.

But, I'm planning lots more fun at Bounce U this summer!!
