Events at Sherlake

Today our playgroup went to Events at Sherlake. It was our first time trying this place so I was excited to see how Grace would do. Essentially this warehouse was made into a gigantic bounce house for kids. Grace usually isn't intimidated by anything of this nature, but she wasn't too sure when we walked in. It was loud due to all of the machines pumping air into each bouncy thing. I don't know if that scared her a bit, but it took her a while to get warmed up. She wasn't interested in the little kids area so we took a walk around to survey the goods. We ended up in an enclosed bounce house where Grace just sat and watched the other kids jump around. She got up a couple times, but quickly came back and sat on my lap.

And then Grace found the slide..........................

I'm not quite sure why this felt different to her, but she LOVED it!! She went right up the steps and sat on my lap for the first trip down. And as you can tell from the picture above, she quickly started mastering her olympic downhill belly slide!! I sat at the bottom taking pictures while Lauren and Amy helped all the kids up and down the slide, and I was busting a gut watching their faces as they came down!!!! They each had a look of absolute terror as they came down, but started laughing as soon as they landed......HILARIOUS!! We had a good time, and highly recommend this place. Two hours of play time usually = LONG nap time, right!?!?! haha

Thanks again to Lauren and Amy for helping Grace up the steps so I could get some shots!!
