Spontaneous Fun

As Xander and I were making our rounds in Oneonta for the weekly shopping, I happened to notice that there was something going on up at the mall (or as the college kids call it, the small). There were a bunch of bounce houses, a huge obstacle course, and a really tall inflatable slide set up in the parking lot. I paid $10 for a wrist band and then Xander was off and running - literally!


He went through the obstacle course countless times, with all the climbing and sliding and bouncing. Xander wasn't too interested in the bounce houses, though he tried out each one, but he loved the big slide. And at one point he climbed into the lap of an elderly man (on oxygen, no less!) who was using one of those scooters. The gentleman was nice enough to give Xander a quick buzz around the parking lot while I died of embarrassment!

I was really glad that Xander was able to have so much fun, so unexpectadly! Sometimes when it's just the two of us it's easier to take advantage of these moments. And I'm doubly glad that we hadn't used up all the pictures on his disposable camera before we got there!!
