Bouncing Fun

April 9, 2018 by Heather Step 1 Comment

Kids love bouncing and trampolines are always a hit with them. So when we were invited to Bounce at Waterfall, we just had to go. The event was in honour of YoJelly, which, as the name suggests, is a combination of yoghurt and jelly. Pretty delicious as it turns out. And the bouncing was fun too.

YoJelly is not new to the market but has made a return in a different formula. I have tasted these types of foods before and always came away with the feeling that this was really too sweet and too much like jelly. I’ve tasted this new one and am pleased to say that the claim that it has 30% less sugar is true. Tastes about the same sweetness as normal yoghurt. It also has 30% more milk (definitely less jelly and more pudding like). It also has 11 vitamins too.

The mascot for the YoJelly is a big bird. It must be a toucan with that big beak. Anyway the big bird was at the event and definitely had some moves.

The children definitely had some fun bouncing up and down at the event at different areas of the Bounce playground.

They started off dodging balls in the dodgeball area.

Then they had to run and jump into a soft pillow.

After that – just jumping.

And finally – shooting hoops. This was the part Nicky particularly enjoyed and took pride in telling me that he made three hoops, and did I take pictures of them?

Well, I certainly took a lot of pictures. Check out Nicky having fun bouncing. I am still getting the hang of this camera of my late father’s though. The pictures came out a bit dark. But I have to keep practicing.

Also having fun at the event were MomAgain@40 Karen, Laura who is the Harassed (but happy) Mom, and Thando, the Modern Zulu Mom.

Just to say, two weeks ago I didn't post any photos. We had an awful time in Uitenhage and for the first time actually skipped a round and went home early enough before it got dark.

Just remember that winning only comes after those tough times.

OH and my wall is finally up! Major victory!

Having everything organized before baby gets here is really going to help your peace of mind.

I really feel like we turned a corner this weekend.
After days of pain, Nicky had dental work done and he is no longer in pain. Such a nice emergency dentist who met us on Saturday afternoon to get things done. 
Also the airsoft gun is finally working!
After weeks of getting the charger sorted we realised the batteries weren't fitting in the gun. Thank God for Linda and her crew at @planet_paintball.pe who exchanged a part to make the whole thing work and let Nicky try it out with some other people. At no cost. We are so grateful.

So, you might be wondering why there is a hole in So, you might be wondering why there is a hole in my wall.

Last Sunday night we heard a crash but I thought it was from the other side. I thought I should look at my phone to see what was going on and saw missed calls from my neighbor.

Some guy had literally driven into my wall.

So while we have been dealing with fixing walls, insurance claims and a lot of follow up, what is a girl to do but take refuge in a chocolate desert?

Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse Such a lovely morning at @merchantandmillbakehouse  and @your_motivationalcoach sipping cappacino and having a nice chicken sandwich and brownie squares while Nicky had a muffin and some pies. He was also giving me a blow by blow of squid games. 😂
Hope you all are having a nice Youth Day.
