Jumpstreet, Bahama Bucks, and TOILET PAPERING!

When Todd and I went to take Kota to the vet a couple weeks ago, we saw a new place called "Jumpstreet." Todd went in to check it out. It's a place with these huge trampoline "fields" where you can just go in and jump around and play. Or in certain "arenas" you can play dodgeball on the trampolines. We decided that the place definitely was on our agenda.
Last night we were going to go out with another family...possibly bowling...when Todd remembered Jumpstreet. As luck had it, it was the Grand Opening night and so half off the admission price. We excitedly hurried down to Jumpstreet with the Bradshaw family. It was a BLAST. It was a WORKOUT. We had so much fun playing dodgeball and just jumping around.
We were worn out, hot, and sweaty...so of course, we had to cool off.
And what better place to do that than Bahama Bucks. Yummy!
But, that was only the beginning of the fun. If you remember, a few weeks ago our friends the Brewers and the Whatcotts brought their whole families (even the itty bitty little ones) to toilet paper our house. We caught them in the act. Apparently, they hadn't heard the rule of "you get caught...you clean it up." Well....they asked for it. The Bradshaws were nice enough to help us get revenge. And, boy was the revenge SWEET. We t.p.ed the Brewers first. We had a great time. Everyone loved it. The big kids...the little ones...shoot, even I had a blast. Weston had so much fun running around, ripping off small sections of toilet paper and dropping them everywhere. We finished at the Brewers and headed to the Whatcotts...where we had just as much fun. Unfortunately, we got caught. But, that's okay. The damage was done and they had set the precedent that we didn't have to clean it up.

Of course, they were good sports about it. We left them cleaning up a bunch of tp. oh, revenge is sweet!
The funniest part is that after the Whatcotts cleaned it all up and went back inside....some other people came and t.p.ed them AGAIN. Wow. They either have a lot of enemies...or a lot of friends (I think it's the latter... and that the dad (Sam) dishes it out as much as he gets it back). I never really considered toilet papering a family activity, but I think we really bonded over that experience. We might just have to do it again.
