Sunshine had a Valentine Cheer party at Party Central. It’s an indoor place where kids and adults (if you like) can bounce around in or slide down giant blown up plastic knee and elbow burners!
All these little girls running around fueled up on cupcakes and on sugar disguised as “100% juice”. There was great fun to be had! I could not sit by and let these wee ones have all the fun, so I joined in! We chased each other over, under and around all 70ft of the inflated obstacle course. Bounced till there was no more bounce left (in me) and burned each knee & elbow on the super slides. In some cases (sunshine included) there was even a whole worn or torn in pants on one knee or the other. How do you tear a hole in a pair of pants you have worn twice??? Why simple! Play Hard!!!
Most parents sat and watched the action from the sidelines while the coaches, myself and a grandmother (yes, and over 55 by a mile!) played with the girls.
Midway through the party Sunshine managed to drag a few more bounces out of me. A game of bouncing-Tag pursued and I apparently was the monster that the girls were running from. Then they all turned on me taking me down down down! Once I was back up on my feet… here came sunshine opened armed and ready to tackle. I’m talking full body contact! I went down with her attached in bear hug mode she looked up at me with this smile and said…
Your The BEST Mom in the world.
That comment with her huge honest smile will carry me for a long time…making the burned elbows and knees all worth while.
