We have had a busy few weeks here in Bowden household but exciting ones at that....
First up Mummy's birthday, a quiet this year with Bombshell now back at College (University to my home folks) and Boo Boo having soccer practice after a long day, a take out (take away to my home folk) and some wine was on order..... the good news I did get my iPhone 4S so I am a happy bunny, thanks Bombshell.
So this year with my birthday so close to Boo Boo and the fact Charlotte Restaurant Week is on we decided to combine our birthday.
On to the next week and I was frantically watching the weather for Boo Boo's birthday. She had chosen snow tubing as her activity with 3 of her friends. The weather was not cooperating so 3 days before I had to look for another option, was it to be movies, roller skating, some how all not having the wow factor to make my little girl's 10th birthday special, then it came to me........our local news channel had recently reviewed a new business that opened around Christmas, Sky High Sports. Tickets ordered on Thursday and visit scheduled for Saturday, the day before her birthday.
Busy day Saturday cake picked up, girls dropped off, car packed....but wait a minute what is that....my car, yes the ultimate mummy's minivan, had a flat tire and I don't mean just low, the damn car was sitting on the floor, oh my god, panic struck me and I lost all control. I had 4 kids with me, Bombshell and me and another kid meeting us there. How in the world was I going to fit 7 people in Bombshell's car. Now we are going to be late. Bombshell calm as always, this is why he is my rock, stated "just take my car" of course my panic had not subsided.....my response was "what about Emma blah blah blah blah" I am sure that is all bombshell heard.....
I think he probably just wanted to bang my head to the wall...... Calmly he said "take my car I will get your car sorted and meet you there"
Oh the penny dropped I could fit me and the 4 kids and get going, by the time they finished Bombshell would be arriving with a fixed car....off we went albeit a little late, let's just say I got to try out Bombshell's car speed capabilities....
We arrived at Sky High Sports, it was pouring with rain so you can imagine, this place was buzzing, busy but not to the point it was unbearable. They have done a great job of selling tickets online ahead of time, but the neat thing is you can only buy 3 days ahead. So armed with my 12pm to 2pm slot others were arriving only to be told that the next session available was 10pm that night.
This place was amazing, trampolines on the wall as well as the basic trampolines all with pads everywhere, a dodgeball area and foam pit, the kids were unleashed changed in their shorts and t-shirts and had a BLAST!!!!!!
What a great substitute.......I am thinking snow tubing being canceled was not a bad thing :)
After a great day of fun we followed up with Chick Fil A lunch before returning home for pizza, wii Dance 3, movies and a sleep over HAPPY 10th BIRTHDAY BOO BOO
