Ivy, bouncer by nature that she is, loved it.
Jack did too.
Turns out the bounce houses were the highlight of the event for Jack, who appears to be exiting his "truck phase" as he was fairly unenthusiastic about the trucks and diggers. We did get him into the front end loader, and he did appear to enjoy the fire truck though he changed his mind about getting into it (after waiting in line for 10 minutes, of course)...
Ivy wanted to climb right into all the trucks herself... I think next summer will be her year to be crazy about this event...
Jack's favorite part of the day in Lakewood was the Jungle Bob animal show, where he got to touch a skink and loved looking at the baby alligator. Ever the scientist, he also had a good time on our trip to the Botanical Gardens in the late afternoon, spending almost the entire time looking at things through the telescopes.
Ivy enjoyed looking at herself in the giant mirrors at the entry to the glasshouse.
She also enjoyed walking around and climbing on things, which are two of her favorite pastimes in general these days. She wants to be on her feet at all times and she can cruise around furniture or along walls... but of course prefers to hold our hands and lead us along, as we hunch and shuffle behind her. I will be happy to see her walking independently if only to save my poor old back.

Wow... that was an AMAZING bouncy castle - how elaborate! Hey, since Jack loves insects you should consider a trip to the Butterfly pavilion while you're here. It's a great day and they have an insect and crustacean petting zoo to boot. I think you'd all adore it.
