JumpJam -- jumping back-to-school

 

Every August we hold our annual “Back-to-School” party for the grandchildren who live in Knoxville. Trey is in Australia on his mission; Allie is out to BYU, so that left us with 11 wonderful grandkids.  We’ve had swimming parties, game-playing parties, bowling, eating out, sleeping over, etc. This year we couldn’t resist trying the news craze in Knoxville – JumpJam. The owners just happen to be Jeff and Lisanne Lee, who live in our ward.  They were most kind and gave us a great discount on our tickets.   

The kids worked up a sweat and an appetite, so what better way to end the party than with all-you-can-eat ice cream sundaes with many wonderful toppings back at our house and don't forget the back-to-school gift bags.

Try as I might, none of my pictures from JumpJam turned out very well.  Most are blurry or fussy or both, but I’m going to put some here anyway.  You'll get the idea. It was more fun than the pictures show.

Best wishes to all our grandchildren for a fantastic 2013-2014 school year.  Thanks for celebrating with us.
