Happy Flippin Birthday

Nicole turned 16 on the 18th of March.  But being a Sunday she decided that she wanted to wait to celebrate her birthday.  So we waited until yesterday to celebrate her birthday.  She just wanted a family party this year and to have us all go to a place called Flippin Out. 

So we decided Flippin Out it was!  Talk about a blast!  The place is an indoor wall to wall trampoline place.  Seriously, it was so much fun.  Nicole, Adam, Breanne, Tyler, Robbie, Josh and Myself all paid to jump in the trampoline experience.  Mom was our usual spectator and cheerleader.  We jumped for about 10 minutes nonstop.  I showed my kids I was still able to do a front flip and other things.  Yes, I even fell a couple times because I lost my balance. Then I became exhausted.  We thought that an hour would be too short of time. NOT!!!

          We threw balls at each other playing dodgeball.  Adam pegged me in my face a couple times!  Then I would get him back.  We all hit each other many times.  In fact little kids that were there started playing with us as well.  They really liked hitting Adam!  I had to take a break about 20 minutes into our Flippin Out festivities.  I was having a hard time catching my breath.  I was about ready to ask Tyler for his inhaler, but got a drink of water instead.

Dang Nicole got some air!

When Nicole and I got tired of jumping we went and tried these blow up obsticle course thingys...I couldn't figure out what to do with them.  All I know is I ended flipping over the ladder and ending up on my back with Nicole beside me laughing at me.


I can honestly say that everyone had a really good time at Flippin Out.  You know everyone had a good time when they are still talking about it the next day to their friends!  Yup that's what Adam was doing.  As a mom, you can always tell when everyone is having a good time and would like to do the activity again because they tell their friends about it.



They both got some air that time!!



This is what we call CRASH & BURN!!!

Adam...MR. DODGEBALL himself!  Notice a couple members of the CRASH & BURN crew in the back?

They added another member to it!!!

Too cute not to post...Tyler & Breanne!  Are they beaming?

Finally...ME!!!  I had so much fun!!!

Great idea Nicole! Your one smart chicky to decide something that everyone would have fun doing for your birthday. There was not one complaint from anyone. Except that we were hungry, but I'm sooooo glad we didn't eat before we went or there would be people hurling!
