Jungle Jim's

At the beginning of the summer Becky and I bought deals to all sorts of fun places to take our kids to this summer, Planet Play, Jungle Jim's, Hollywood Connection, Color me mine to name a few. Then we kept putting off using them because things would come up. This summer was so busy for our family. Between trips, visitors, swimming lessons and other play dates our days were busy.

Here's the proof that our summer was PACKED!


Finally at the end of July we decided we NEEDED to use the wrist bands to Jungle Jim's because they expired at the end of August. We met Becky and her girls for a few hours one afternoon and the kids had such a great time they didn't want to go. I actually let Roman stay and ride a few more rides after Becky had to leave because he was having such a great time. We didn't get Hudson a wrist band but decided we would the next time because there were enough rides that he could go on that we decided it would be worth it. Instead he stood by the fence trying to figure out how to get in.

Roman, Kaylee and Gabby started out on the roller coaster. They LOVED it. Roman surprised us and didn't even get sick on the fast rides. We were smart though and made them go on a slow ride or play in the play area between the faster ones.

After that we had a hard time keeping up with them as they ran between the planes, jeep safari, swings, carousel and bumper cars.

We went again at the end of August to use it up. We met Becky and her girls again and my cousin Tiffany and her boys; Corbin, Carter, and Jacob (Jacob didn't go on any rides because he's only 3 months old). Roman was in a bad mood when we got there and it was just getting worse. We started out our visit with a timeout and he was kind of a grouch the whole time. He didn't want to really ride the rides, he wanted to play the games and we didn't have tokens to play the games. We got Hudson a wristband so that he could ride the rides too. We got in line with the kids to ride the planes and Hudson was trying to climb through the fence again to get in. Since he had a wristband I decided I might as well just take him. Kaylee offered to let him ride with her, but I was a little nervous with them up in the air.

I did let Kaylee take Hudson on the Jeep Safari. He loved it. The only problem, he wanted to drive standing up and Kaylee had to keep having him sit down. He wasn't such a huge fan of the spinning saucers.

And of course my boys had to drive.
