Playtime

Mom & Dad Stevens had to leave early Monday morning to drive home, but my parents flight didn't leave until early Monday evening so we had a little more time to play. After a quiet, lazy relaxing morning, we headed out to a fun little gym nearby. It's got a full arcade set-up with games, tokens & prizes- but the main attraction are the inflatables. They have tons of different bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses, etc. We've heard a lot about it, and thought this weekend would be the perfect time to try it out.
The kids had a blast and loved playing on all the different inflatables. Emily was a little bummed she couldn't follow after the boys on a few of them, but she had a blast in the bounce house and going down the giant slide. That girl has no fear! The boys had lots of fun racing around and playing together too. It was nice to have a chance to visit with Mom & Dad while the kids played, and it provided some pretty good entertainment for us too.






As you can tell by Emily's face, she absolutely LOVES it when Matthew picks her up and carries her around. It's not too hard since she sill only weighs 21 pounds, but it drives her crazy! :)


Later on that afternoon, we stopped to pick up some lunch and Mom & Dad took Jacob to the store to pick out one more present for his birthday. He ended up choosing the game "Risk". Ask me if I'm thrilled... It was so nice and Jacob was beyond excited!
We had lunch/dinner at home, then I took Mom & Dad to the airport at 6pm. It was a sad goodbye, and the time went by way too fast, 2.5 days just isn't enough! But we were just glad they were able to make it out at all. It was such a fun weekend with everyone here. Jacob sure felt special and loved, and we loved having time with family.
