Monkey Joe's: Half Price Wednesdays

About every week, one of my babies asks to go to Monkey Joe's. We have not been since cousin Jake's birthday in December, and now we have been twice in two weeks. The above pictures were two Monday's ago in Spartanburg. Charlie had a meeting every night last week and I needed a getaway, so we went to Spartanburg for the day two Monday's ago (my parents took us to Monkey Joe's which was fantastic).

Today we went to Monkey Joe's in Gastonia, and they have half price day on Wednesday and I met a couple friends out there. I am also friends with MJ's on facebook where they let me know when they are having events with chances to win a free birthday party there. We had another great time there, and I will hopefully upload pictures soon.

I have a feeling we will be going to Monkey Joe's a good bit during this summer. I am a little nervous about this summer because it will be the first time I have not had a gym membership since I had Jackson, and I really do not want to get one for the summer. If you stay at home, what are some fun, inexpensive things you do with your babies during the summer (the first thing out of Jackson's mouth every morning is...where are we going today mommy?....)?

Jackson's 4th Family Birthday Party!

Last Friday, we had a family birthday party for Jackson in Spartanburg. We went to Monkey Joe's and Chucky Cheese. Aunt Sandi, Uncle Larry, Luke, Kelly, Matt, Gigi, and Grand were all there. We had a toy story themed party, and had a great time. Jackson was very excited about getting a "real" bike from Grand and Gigi. We had another family party on Sunday on his actual birthday and hopefully I will post those pictures as well this week!

Monkey Joe's Back to School Bash

We went to the Monkey Joe's, Jackson's current favorite place on earth to go to, back to school bash a couple of weeks ago (half price to get in). Abigail finally got in the toddler bounce place for the first time and had a blast as you can see. We are back to school, and last week I had two days of Community Bible Study training (I am teaching Abigail's class on Tuesday mornings which I love), and so it has been crazy busy, but we are now getting settled into our routine of Jackson going to Preschool two days a week. Jackson lit the candle in chapel today at Preschool and is doing really well there now. He has already learned how to draw a person in the few times he has been there with legs and all. We are so thankful!

Fun Friday: Monkey Joe's Two Friday's Ago

We were able to all get together to go to Monkey Joe's in Gastonia a couple Friday's ago for customer appreciation weekend. A lot of us from the church were all able to make it, and the kids had the best time. Customer appreciation weekend involved half off admission, and $1 slice of pizza. I think Jackson would live at Monkey Joe's if we would let him, and it is a great fun thing to do once a month or so.
