"Bouncing" in the New Year

We always spend New Years Eve with the Pursers and this year was a 48 hour event.  We had the best fondue and chocolate fountain... followed  by games... movies and puzzles (my favorite)  Shauna and I stayed up until 2 in the morning to finish our puzzle!
 Thatcher all ready for the sleep over with his sleeping bag/backpack... he wouldn't let us take it off... or his coat.
 Snuggling and watching a movie on the ceiling!  Loving the Lorax!
 On new years day... it was off to Airborne again for the second year in a row.  They have made so many changes and we had a blast.



 Eme loved being thrown into the pit... Thatch, not so much. 

 This year... they have a new obstacle course and it was a blast.  It is pretty intense, consisting of monkey bars, rock wall, tight rope, spider wall, rope swing, cliff hanger, net and an inverted wall.  If you can complete it... you get a soda... piece of cake for Tanner... then he found out that you could get a free punch pass for 10 visits ($79 value) if you could do it under 60 seconds
 He did it... first attempt at timing it.. 55 seconds... 7th person ever to do it!  Way to go.
 I just observed while Tanner did it... working up the nerve to try it myself.  Side note... you have to be 5 feet to even attempt it... so I barely make the cut.  Second deterrent... if you fail at the monkey bars... the very first task... its about a 15 foot drop into the pit... a little scary if you ask me.  But I did it... made it past the rock wall... and bailed half way off the tight rope... for future reference... I will do a bum drop and scoot the rest of the way (like Tanner did) on that obstacle next time.

 Dancing and Balancing... two things she is super good at.

 The beginning of a very sick little boy... he still loved the first half hour we were there... but he got tired pretty quick.
 The sleep over/ bouncing gang... minus Grandpa and Grandma.
