When it's time for physical activity, we tend to cram as much of it into one day as humanly possible. Today was no exception as it started off with roller derby practice at 10:00am, followed by an hour wait in the bowling alley arcade followed by an hour long bounce session at Altitude with the Carusos.
First, Zoe made it through another roller derby practice. Her skating is getting so good.
Once practice was over, Zoe and I grabbed a quick lunch before heading to meet the Carusos at the bowling alley. There was a wait for a lane, so we all went over to the arcade. The kids really enjoyed the motorcycle racing game. Annabelle and Zoe took turns crashing it into walls and other racers.
The game actually allows you to take your picture before you start racing so that, if you're racing against someone else, they can see your face in the game as they pass you. I managed to photo bomb the one time they actually tried to do this.
The other games they were really into were the simulators. They look pretty serious here, but I can assure you that they were enjoying themselves when those orange chairs were rocking and rolling all over the place.
After about an hour, a few snacks, and a ton of games, we still didn't have a lane. It was at this point we decided to drive behind the building and take the kids, instead, to Altitude. Everyone was very excited about this idea. Since there is a lot of bouncing it is difficult to get some pictures, but here are a couple of Zoe braving the zip line that claimed her two front teeth all those months ago.
When the hour of bouncing was completed, the kids were hungry and thirsty again. The kids wanted ICEEs, with the girls agreeing to share a blue one while John had his red one. It still wasn't enough to give them any energy.
And they all slept happily ever after. It was great to run the kids ragged and they enjoyed every second of it. We can't wait to do it all over again soon! There are some more photos in the Flickr album for Q1. Enjoy!
