Open gym

So, thanks to Jaime and Olivia, we have now discovered a fabulous new place for indoor fun. With the weather starting to cool down, we need to expand our options beyond the local parks. Anyway, we met Olivia and Jaime at Emerald City Gym which is a place where they teach actual gymnastics but have an open gym time for an hour each day. The only things the kids don't get to play on are the uneven bars, horse, vault and 4 foot balance beams, and would you want our little monkey on that stuff anyway? Everything else is fair game, though, including a rope swing and foam pit, trampolines, huge slides, obstacle courses and the bouncy floor that gymnasts use in their floor routines (and when I walked on it, I now understand how they do all those super high flips--it's really bouncy!). Anyway, Buds was in heaven and it's just too bad they don't have open gym all day! His favorite part on Wednesday (although not today when we went with Maddie!) was the three person swing. Here are some more pics...

 

Man, I wish I was two again. This place is super fun!
