Toddler Time

Since pulling the little trampoline up from the basement was such a HUGE hit, we decided to take Kate to Toddler Time at our local Sky Zone.  Sky Zone is a big indoor trampoline park with lots of trampolines, dodge ball, and even a pit of foam cubes to jump into.  Toddler Time is offered an hour before normal hours on Sunday, and it's so cheap - $10 per kid, $1 per adult if you are walking on the trampolines.  These fees cover your sky socks!

Fancy, huh?

Kate is very observant, so when we first arrived at Toddler Time she was a little hesitant to just jump right in and start bouncing around on her trampoline square.  (Each toddler was supposed to be assigned an individual square, but you know how that goes.  Controlling a toddler in a room full of trampolines is nearly impossible...unless that toddler is Miss Kate Madeline.)

She stuck by Brian and I and just took it all in.  She watched one little boy bounce, bounce, bounce, and then fall right on his bottom.  She watched one little girl literally running across several trampolines.  She watched another little boy jump on the wall trampoline (yes, there are trampoline walls) and bounce directly on the floor trampoline.  It was, in Kate's world, pure chaos, but very stimulating nonetheless.

Brian and I sat on either side of her trampoline and she started walking back and forth to each of us, still very intrigued by her surroundings and very hesitant to let either one of us out of a 3' reach.  Once she got a bit more comfortable, she started exploring more and warmed up to the idea that we were here to have fun!

Toddler Time chaos!

Just taking it all in with Mommy!

Walking across the trampoline!

Safe zone with Daddy!

It's a big, big world out there!

Still observing.

I love how everything around Kate in this photo is a blur.  You can
tell that she was literally just observing and watching!

Back in the safe zone!

Getting a bit braver!
See the trampoline walls!?

Then again, better play it safe.

Watching all these pint-sized people jump endlessly is tiring!

Venturing off!
Pinky over on the right is seriously tuckered out!

Feeling comfortable!

This was after she warmed up a bit and captures everything we experienced: observation, trampoline walking, and chaos!

So comfortable that Kate decided she wanted to take her socks off,
which meant we would not be able to stay on the court and jump.

So we walked over to the dodge ball court while we re-dressed.

Kate loved playing with the dodge balls.

Do we have a sports fan like her Daddy?!

Unfortunately, adults were not permitted to jump during Toddler Time.  I guess that makes sense.  But the trampolines looked like a ton of fun!

Sky Zone, we will be back!
