4th of July, Part 2: McBean Park



Our 4th of July morning was spent enjoying the "Kids Zone" at McBean Park. I know I'm cheesy, but there's just something about free community fun that always makes me happy. Well, technically it wasn't all free this year since they started charging an admission fee into all the bounce attractions, but I can't blame them since last year there were only 2 or 3 birthday party sized inflatable houses, and look at all the cool stuff they had there this year:


The sinking pirate ship slide that slides you down right towards a gigantic attacking octopus. This one was Sawyer's favorite!


The Dragon's Castle bounce had an attached maze that you had to navigate to find your way to the slide staircase.


They had an inflatable rock climbing wall, and another huge slide - this one was King Kong and a T-Rex.


If you squint really hard you can see Sawyer going up the stairs here


The UFO Lazer Encounter was some sort of inflatable lazer tag game, but we didn't actually try this one out.


The lines weren't very long, especially for the slides since they move so quickly, so Sawyer was able to get in a TON of bouncing and sliding.


Sutton is not a fan of bounce houses, so he spent all his time hanging out in the shade and in the park with Mommy & Daddy.


If there's a driving wheel to be found, you'll also find Sutton attached to it.


Sawyer though that the rock climbing wall was pretty cool too.


Even Sutton was finally having fun playing around on the back side of this bouncer! I think we may have had an inflatables-are-fun breakthrough!


Almost all bounced out.


Just time for one quick joust before we headed home for naptime! The match lasted about 7 seconds until Sawyer declared that the stick was just way too heavy. Maybe next year!
