The Jungle!

The Jungle is an awesome indoor play area for kids and toddlers. I have been wanting to take the girls ever since Kylie could walk. She is starting to jump and crawl all over my couch, so I knew she would really enjoy this place. We all had a great time watching both girls crawl, slide, and jump around. Grandpa Wilson hung out with us while we were there and Grandma Wilson met up with us afterwards for lunch and to see Natalie open some early birthday presents.

Yes, that is me crouched inside the toddler's tunnel. Kylie figured out pretty quick how to get up and down the playground steps back was still learning the ropes. The tunnel had a bump in the floor like a bridge that she really loved going back and forth over. She loved staring at the other kids playing there too.

Here you can see that little tongue sticking out. She was so thrilled to be sitting there, turning the wheel and didn't even need it to go moving!

I tried to show her how fun the ball pit was but she wasn't too interested. Maybe next year...

Natalie had a blast crawling through all the tunnels and jumping into the big kid's ball pit. Dad was brave enough (I think that how you describe it) to join her for some crawling. Not sure if he is going to do that next year without some knee pads!

Kylie was nice enough to perform her new trick for Grandma and Grandpa Wilson at lunch. I think the whole restaurant saw when Dad put her on the table!


Afterwards, she drove out to visit the church where Mary Jo is buried. It was the first time we had been there since the funeral. It was nice to remember how wonderful she was and what a great example her life is to us. Her birthday was that week so we wanted to make sure we saw her.

We stopped by to see Grandpa Fred and Chris! It was a wonderful day seeing so much family. We are very lucky to live so close to one another.
