Bouncing around

Since Monday was a holiday, we were excited to spend some extra time with Emilia. It was freezing and lightly snowing, so our options were limited. We decided to venture to Sport Bounce of Loudoun.


She’s starting to really understand and look forward to things, so when we told her we were going to go bounce, all she kept saying was “buntz, buntz” and “Nay Nay,” since the last time she was there, Nathan was with her.

Hidden inside a business park in Ashburn is this large, indoor play area filled with bounce houses and slides. This is a great winter activity for kids as young as 18 months. Even though Emilia is on the young end, there's still a lot she can enjoy for $6. Here she is just getting warmed up:

There is a huge slide that we went down several times. Emilia is obviously too young to get herself up to the top, so one of us had to carry her. The first time I took her I held up the entire line and was winded even after I came down.

The rules are that you have to slide down one at a time, so here’s Emilia flying down all by herself! Click on Our Videos to see her in action. 45 minutes of bouncing the heck out of that place and we were all wiped. Emilia crashed in the car. $6 well spent!
