This is how I love to paty on Friday nights.

I had my children with me this weekend. It was great. On Friday it was my daughter's birthday. I took her, my boys and my girlfriend to a new place here in town called RC Bouncers. (www.rcbouncers.com) It's a pretty cool place but, seems a little strict. You have to go over the rules before you play. OK, no problem. You can't run. OK, two kids smashing into each other at light speed could be disastrous. No belts or piercings or poky stuff. OK, I dig. Piercings could get ripped out and belts or poky things could cause a major tare resulting in injuries or death.
OK, rules are fine and dandy but as my chillins began to frolic about, I noticed some rules not stated in the "Rule Meeting" one such rule as "I will blow my loud obnoxious whistle at you to get you to stop whatever it is you are doing." Getting someones attention and blowing a whistle in an inclosed space are two different things. The other rule I noticed seemed to be "No bouncing". This troubled me greatly as they tout "Bouncing" in their name. Seems strange to me but the kids had fun and I will definitely take them back.
After the bouncing we all went to John's Pizza for; dinner, friends, gifts and... so the kids could continue playing. We all had a wonderful time. Audrey got a few gifts in the form of money, which was quickly turned in for tokens. Everything else was Hanna Montana, well except for the socks which she did actually love. She turned in her tickets at the end of the night, got what she wanted and was a very happy birthday girl.

Happy birthday to Miss A from Uncle Ian!

Regarding the RC Bouncers:
I like how they went retro with their website; definitely looks like it was made in 1998.

Their tag-line on their home page says "WHERE YOU AND YOUR KIDS BOUNCE ON OUR FURNITURE, NOT YOURS!" The rules as printed on the website do not mention any prohibition against bouncing. Perhaps you were being overwatched by an under-trained employee, or perhaps a robotic overlord.

In conclusion, I would just like to state that the most important rule of all is: "BEING BORED IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED"

Congratulations on all your success. You smell terrific.

I can't believe Audrey was just a tiny, new little baby when I met her. Wait ... she was a tiny, new little baby the first time you met her too!! I'm such a dork. Just can't believe that much time has gone by.
