June 16: Bounce Party and a Fire Truck!



Bouncing on the trampoline.

Koen had the chance to go to Bounce Party a few weeks ago for a birthday party, but Tysen was so disappointed that he couldn't stay to play, so when it was a rainy day this Thursday I thought we'd visit for the open bounce.  Of course, I forgot that the few times there had been bouncy equipment at gymnastics Ty had wanted no part of it.  So it took a while for him to go on any of the items, but eventually he had some fun bouncing on the trampoline and going down the slide with me.  Brielle also bounced on the trampoline and liked it... mostly.  We went with our friends Ian, Caleb, and their mom.  The kids ran around for over an hour before they lost interest and we headed home for lunch. 

Koen, Ian, and Tysen paused for a
moment for a picture.

Kentwood fire truck.

On our way out of Bounce Party there was a fire truck stopped on the road.  The firemen were testing the fire hydrants...over 4200 to test in Kentwood!  The Lieutenant came over to us as we stood and watched them work.  He gave each boy a sticker badge and a postcard with a picture and info of the truck.  They were pretty excited about the whole experience!
