"My Gym" Birthday Party

My kids attended a "My Gym" Birthday party today. Both kids enjoyed it and had a great time. It was fun for the whole family and a cute idea for a birthday party. They have weekly classes, Parents/Kids nights out (where they babysit while parents go out to dinner and kids play in the gym), lunch bunch (they serve lunch and kids can play in the gym while parents run errands), and gym free time (for enrolled students to play around in the gym).

They had structured group activities, as well as lots of Free Time for the kids to run around the gym and play.

The Gym had trampolines, balance beams, monkey bars, a ball pit, trapeze bars, rings, slides, climbing ladders, a zip line, parallel bars, toys, hula hoops, and tons of things to tumble in and on.

Both kids enjoyed climbing on everything, jumping, hanging, and swinging. John got a kick out of the trampoline and hanging from the money bars. He'd play along for a little bit in group activity, get bored, and wander off. Katie enjoyed group activities, trying to flip on the rings, and imitating the older kids. Bill, the other parents, and I could follow the kids around the gym or sit in the observation room. Bill and I took turns taking pictures and following John around.

They also served pizza, cake, and had a pinata. The party lasted 2.5 hours and the kids played most of the time. It wore them out and they are sleeping quite well right now.
