This place was just one huge open area with 4 parties going on at once. The part that sucked was that you had the big kids that pushed through the little kids to get where they wanted. At PIU you had better control over that because you knew the kids there and could police them a little better. But in the end the kids were totally worn out and all had a blast.
Side note: 1.5 hours of jumping is a REALLY long time to be jumping. 1 hour would have been just fine. And when going to a place with a bunch of parties, if you bring ice cream you would be smart to label your ice cream.
Ours got eaten by another party. The manager went out and bought us more but by the time it got there half the guests had left. So now I have a whole bunch of little servings of vanilla ice cream.
And it would be really nice if you could work out a secret code to tell your birthday boy to stop picking his nose long enough to point out what piece of cake he wants. And that it isn't really polite to sit at the table with 25 friends whole picking your nose and eating your boogers. Even though you have lectured him 5 million times about it before.You also know the kid is tired when he just sits there and looks at his candle after everyone has finished singing and doesn't even attempt to blow it out, even when everyone is yelling blow it out! And then 5 mintues later he finally does it and I miss the shot. ;)
Note my super sweaty boy. This kid sweats more than any other kid I've evr met. Not looking forward to the stinky teen years!
What makes it all so worth it is when you ask the birthday boy if he had fun. and he says "That was the most fun I have ever had in my whole life". That is the best feeling!
PS- loving all the new commenters!! I love hearing what you guys think and have to say! :) Makes my day.

Dude, that is the sweatiest kid I know. Was the sweatiest baby, toddler, and now big kid. Cracks me up every time!
Laughed out loud at the nose picking. I just kept thinking, "Don't touch the cake!!" HA!! Love him.
Hi Deb,
Long time follower, first time commenter. I came over to your blog a while back when Jenny posted a link and I've been a follower ever since! I love reading about your kids and you take some awesome pictures!!! I loved the cake that you did and wanted to say thank you for the recipe! And since you said you liked getting all the comments I thought I'd leave one for a change. :) You have a gorgeous family!
OK, look at me. Another comment. When will I shut up? I just had to crack up about your sweaty boy. My neice was the sweatiest baby I ever met. Even her feet would sweat -- a lot. And then it dawned on me -- she looks a little like a girl version of your little guy. She's 6 and quite cute and funny, so if he ever needs a sweaty girlfriend in Ohio . . .
I've been reading daily for, oh, forever maybe. LOL Have to tell you that I love watching the twins grow. Even if I have NO idea how you do manage 4 kids!! All of your pics are great! Love the sweaty boy. And would have LOVED to been @ that party!
JH's birthday is this coming Saturday. We are taking the party to the super cool Bowling Alley/Arcade. I wish they had something like this place in The 'Couve. Although with the separate party rooms! It looks like your big boy had so much fun!
