Superfly

We didn't end up taking a whole week off for Spring Break.

Instead we took a couple of days at the first of March to spend time with cousins who were their Spring Break, and then we took another couple of days off in April when the local schools were on break (including Isaac's preschool).

When cousins were here we visited the Creative Discovery Museum and Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum. And then our family did some fun excursions including three hikes during the course of spring break week.

We had actually planned to go camping at the end of this week, but the weather did not cooperate. Instead we made a deal with Jack that if it stormed we would visit Superfly for a day of jumping.

Friday we hiked at Big Soddy Gulf and then that evening we cooked our dinner over a campfire in our back yard. Saturday the rain started, so we kept our word and visited Superfly.

Thankfully Daniel discovered a coupon so we only had to pay half price!

We had previously visited Superfly with the elementary group at church and the kids loved it. Jack has really been wanting to go back, so this was a perfect activity.

It did not disappoint.

Both boys surprised us with their abilities to climb, balance, flip, and jump. Maybe they will be American Ninja Warriors when they grow up?

After they were worn out from jumping, we grabbed a late lunch at Chuy's and then popped over to see grandparents.

It wasn't camping, but we still had a great end to our Spring Break.

SuperFly Jump Park

Our church recently rented out the SuperFly jump park in east Chattanooga for a preschool family gathering, and we had a fantastic time (even the grown ups!).

There were trampolines to jump on, foam pits to jump into, an American Ninja Warrior course to attempt, and so much more.

I made it across two of the Ninja obstacles without falling in, and across the slack line (with the aid of a rope for balance). Daniel climbed across a climbing wall, in addition other obstacles.

Isaac was determined to go up the stairs to the trapeze swing – I spent part of my night steering him away. Jack had an amazing time doing as much as he could do.

I think the favorite activity was to run up the nearly vertical trampolines and then slide back down. I was able to hold Isaac in my left arm as I ran up the slide, and then held him in my lap to slide back down with him. So much fun.

Jack was so sad to leave (crying in the parking lot), and he wasn't the only one. We will have to go back one of these days.

Up until now I have put off taking Jack to a jump park because of the size of the park, and concern about injury, but now that we have done it, I think we could manage going back with a small group.

This event was perfect for all ages and gave us the opportunity to connect with some friends from church that we don't see as much any more.

Jack thought it was an awesome small group outing, we said it was actually a big group outing :) It's nice to connect with a bigger group.
