We went to the Kangaroo Zoo this last Saturday. It is a place where they just have a bunch of inflatable toys and a miniature golf area all inside. So it is a great place to go in the winter. This was our first time. We put Kaleb on one of the toys and for about 3-5 minutes he just stood there not knowing what to do next. He would watch the other kids jump around. I thought, oh no, he is just going to stand there the whole time. But soon he started bending his knees testing out the bounce, then gradually started bouncing, and then he was off and having a great time.
Soon he was running all over the place and did well at climbing up some of the other toys that had slides and they were kind of steep. He was loving it. He went for an hour straight without stopping. Mikko and I took turns being by him to make sure he was OK. I can only stand so long with out my feet hurting, pregnancy has caused my feet to swell.
We finally took off his shirt cause he was sweating because he was playing so hard. Here is a little jumping sequence of him.
This is a great place especially during the winter, the only problem is Saturdays and holidays are way too crowded and then there are too many older kids who just don't watch out for the younger ones. We will go again, but most likely during the day or week when the older kids are not there. It is also just two blocks from our house which is nice. We don't have a grocery store close but we have this!
After an hour of non stop action he was a little tired so he went and grabbed a drink cup that was on the ground that was not ours and tried to drink it, we hurried to intervene. The poor boy was parched. We bought him a juice drink and he was back on the toys for another 15 minutes. Next time I think I will take him before bed time, so he is so worn out that he will just go to bed afterwards!
