JUMP PLANET - Jump Until They Drop

We have been to parties at local jump facilities and so far Jump Planet is my favorite. It was a huge hit for my older kiddo, she still calls hand sanitizer "bouncy house" because when we go to Jump Planet they squirt it in her hands before going upstairs to the party room. They have two huge play areas that total over 6,000 square feet of jumping fun. They also have a younger area for the 3 and under siblings that jump not as high as their older siblings. Parties are great and well planned out in specified time slots and you can reserve 1 of the 2 sides of the gym for your party.

But, what I haven't done yet is go to a drop in time slot. On their website, you can view by month the days and times that are available for drop-ins. This is great because even though my children wish that every day is a birthday party, thankfully birthday parties are not that frequent. The rate is $6 for the first child and $4 for a sibling.

Go to their website to find the next rainy day that you may be looking for something to do.

They are located in Canyon Park and contact info is available on their website.

Go have a jumping good time!

Young Chefs Academy - Holiday Cook and Care on Dec 6th

I just found out about a great opportunity to have a free experience at the Young Chef's Academy on Dec 6th. It is the Holiday Cook and Care event hosted by Parenting magazine and gives kids an opportunity to try cooking demos to get interested in it. Bring canned food to donate to the food bank and enjoy product giveaways and have fun with hands-on activities.

The local Young Chef's Academy is located at the Mill Creek Town Center and the time is from 12pm - 2pm on Saturday, December 6th. Pre-registration is required, so sign up and let your child experience the kitchen. Best of all it is their kitchen, not yours for your kids to "experiment" in.
