Pump It Up

Our friend Samantha's second birthday party was this past weekend at Pump It Up.  Finley was super clingy and scared the first half of the party.  She only wanted to be carried around, she didn't even want to "walk walk walk"."  All the kids, the loud inflatable and the crazy music intimidated Finley.  She would climb halfway up the slide, slowly gaining her confidence, would realize how high she was and would cry "down".  So back down we trekked.  It was fine by me, I wasn't too keen on going down the slide either. Once we found a bouncer full of friends, Jahan, Samantha and Leah, we were set to go.  The bouncer was full of balls and the kids loved throwing them around.  At one point, it began to deflate sending all the kids and parents into a sinkhole.  It was frightening for a moment or two. We were lucky enough not to be caught in the sinkhole, but everyone else in the bouncer was.  The looks of everyone as they went down were priceless.  Now that everyone is ok, it is fun to look back and laugh.
Finley is a birthday party super fan.  You ask her to go to a birthday party and she says "Pizza" and "Cake".  Notice how everyone is long gone from the table and Finley is there, still enjoying her cupcake.  She is the last to leave the party.
