Or with our visitors&#8217; plans, I suppose. We headed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.skyzone.com\/syracuse\/AboutUs\/WhatisSkyZone.aspx\">SkyZone<\/a> today for some high-flying fun.<\/p>\n<p>The plan was for Julie and her girls to come up and spend the day with us, but the weather did not cooperate and she didn&#8217;t make it, so we were on our own. Turns out that was maybe for the best. Things are SkyZone were crazy!! We didn&#8217;t pre-buy tickets, despite the website strongly encouraging us to do so, and so when we got there they were pretty full up. We were hoping to stay for a few hours, but there were only a few time slots available. We got the kids tickets to jump from 10:30-11:00am while Alan and I watched. The place was a bit overwhelming at first and the ticket lady said grownups had to jump on the other side of the room from kids and I wasn&#8217;t sure what that exactly looked like, so I decided to let the kids jump first. Turns out &#8220;the other side of the room&#8221; was really just not that far away.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wpid-wp-1424120948104.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1424120948104\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wpid-wp-1424120948104.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trampolines everywhere!

YUMMY!!! Before leaving SkyZone we purchased tickets for all four of us to jump from 12:30-1:00pm. I wanted to do longer, but again, there was limited time available. So we had lunch then came back. This second time was soooo much better&#8230; because I jumped too! As a grownup watching the place is boring, loud, and chaotic. But as a jumper jumping, OMG it is so much fun!!! You can go so high and do all sorts of fun tricks. I wasn&#8217;t brave enough for flips and somersaults, but other people were. Lex mastered the &#8220;jumping off the wall&#8221; trick and Alan worked on getting as high in the air as possible. So much fun!!!<\/p>\n<p>After half an hour we were all hot and sweaty. I could have stayed longer, but our time was up and everyone was exhausted so it was a good time to head back to the hotel&#8230; for swimming! What better way to cool down. I didn&#8217;t get any pictures in the pool because I was swimming too, but I really wished I had an underwater camera. There are skylights in the pool area and the sunshine coming in made everything really beautiful. It would have been a great day for swimming pictures. Oh well. By 3:00 we were all worn out and hungry, so we headed back upstairs. It&#8217;s a good vacation when everyone is showered and in PJs by 4pm, right?! :)<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 510px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wpid-wp-1424121028731.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"wp-1424121028731\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/wpid-wp-1424121028731.jpeg\" alt=\"image\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vacation leftovers!
