Jumpy Thing

I have to start with a cute pic of Alex and Jacob.

The boys have spent the last couple of weeks saving their change for a ride on the Jumpy Thing in the Nashua mall. This ride is about 5min long and costs $7 so we were reluctant to just let them go whenever. They performed odd jobs around the house to earn dimes and quarters until each of them had enough. I was very worried that they would pay their money and the freak out once on the machine. But I was very wrong.

Here is Alex waiting, barely able to contain himself.

Jonathan was told to stand on a square and he did not budge until it was his turn.

They both got hooked in. They were so small compared to the usual riders that the operator had to switch around all the harnesses.

Alex really caught some airtime.

Jonathan did pretty good. He had a hard time pushing off hard enough. The operator kept going over to him, grabbing his leg and slingshooting him up. It was very cool.

And as you can see they had a great time.

All smiles on these boys.
