New Year / New Adventures

Hubby had to work a good bit over the holidays, so we decided for the next 2 days we would spend time doing some new fun stuff I had heard about. The winter weather finally showed up this morning and my plan for today was perfect!  I had heard from a friend about a place in Suwanee called Catch Air.  It was GREAT!  The best way to describe it is a bounce place and indoor playground all rolled into one.  It is for kids 12 and under and the whole floor is a soft mat. (So everyone has to wear socks the entire time :)  I wouldn't be surprised if my kids asked to go back tomorrow.

We got there when they opened at 10am (which was good b/c when we left after a couple of hours it was PACKED!)  *If you are local and thinking about going, be sure to like them on FB, b/c I got a code for 25% off this morning...totally worth it! 

Brother headed straight for this "merry go round" thing as soon as he walked thru the gate.  It was pretty cool.  The kids hung on and it went in a circle.  It was a little overwhelming at 1st b/c there was so much to look at, it took the kids a few minutes to get acclimated.

The indoor playground...anyone remember Discovery Zone?! That is what it reminded me of, complete with the ball pit that my kids played in FOREVER. (To be fair, I am not sure they have ever been in a ball pit before :)

The also had a bunch of kid sized workout equipment.  I loved that they could really explore and play with everything.  The huge bounce houses were a big hit too, but I am not sure I got pictures of that...ha!

Sister on a treadmill...

Brother on a bike... I need some of those to keep them active (OR wear them out :) at home.

Ball pit FUN

That was one happy little girl :)

Brother said his favorite thing of the day was this slide.  (He took turns sliding down with everyone - including Mom & Dad). His pants were perfect b/c he flew down the slide!

Finding a new contraption (they were spinning each other around until they fell over...at least they were enjoying playing together :)  They stuck together quite a bit today...love it!

They had a smaller area for kids 5 and under.  Sister played over there for a little while, but realized pretty quickly she would rather hold her own with the bigger kids.

There she goes!

She had a harder time wrapping her legs around the "ball". They both loved it though...at least it was soft when they fell.

She liked me spinning her in a circle on this thing though...

Oops! Kid down.

I have no idea what this thing was, but we saw other kids sitting in it and spinning like a big top, so we tried it too.  So funny.

My favorite part was about an hour after we got there (it was getting busy) and they called all the kids to the dance floor for a "dance party".

They turned off the lights, turned up the music and the kids went to town!

The floor kept changing colors...it was really neat.  The whole time we were there they played kids songs / dance music on a large screen on the wall near the dance floor.  It was definitely entertaining when the kids needed a break.

Back to the spinning thing...this picture cracks me up b/c I am totally watching my 2 kids fall.  I am sure I helped them up like 2 seconds later, or laughed at them b/c I had just put them on...you know, either one :)

Last but not least...we promised the kids one slide on the slide with Mommy & Daddy before we headed out for the day. (Not to mention promising  to come back soon :)

Whee!

Mommy's turn!

We packed up and headed out to one of our favorite lunch spots.

Can you guess where? ha! Yum! We love their under $4 menu. The kids ate it up and were pretty exhausted by the time we got home.  The rest of the day consisted of naps, football and games with Daddy (while Mommy got to have a night out with the girls :)

Off to get some sleep and plan what kind of adventure / trouble we can get into tomorrow, cause that's how we roll. :)
