Absence of Parents & Presence of Pirates :]

Currently, my parents (and the Jensens) are in the Carribean on a cruise. Frederick's parents just returned from their vacation to France. So is the life of two poor college students....always getting stuck at home in Utah while the 'rents are off playing :] ha ha. Anyway, while both sets of parents were away, Fred and I spent some time with his younger sister, Abbie. She was staying in Orem with his grandma so we took an afternoon/evening to take her out. We started the adventure at Jump On It, which is essentially a large warehouse filled with trampolines and bouncy things.

Realization #1: We only needed to pay to jump for one hour. It was plenty of time.
Realization #2: I'm very VERY out of shape.
Realization #3: Fred is such a big kid :]

Sidenote: Jump On It is in Lindon, approximately 10 minutes from Orem. It took us about 30 minutes to get there due to a combination of Fred's bad sense of direction and rush hour traffic on I-15.

Nevertheless, we all had a great time. I forgot how much I love trampolines :] ha ha. After that, we called up Nick and he met us at Pirate Island. It's kind of like a new-age Chuckie Cheese. However, I never got to go to Chuckie Cheese when I was little so it was a new experience for me as well (I guess once your parents take your older sisters there it kind of ruins it for the baby of the family). It was actually a really cool restaurant and the food was decent too. The inside looks like the Pirates of the Carribean ride at Disneyland and everyone was all dressed up like pirates. They also had an arcade so we spent a little time playing skee-ball and Deal or No Deal.

Realization #1: You're never to old to get excited about winning tickets.
Realization #2: You spend much more on those flimsy pieces of paper than they are probably worth.
Realization #3: Boys will never NEVER get to old to enjoy a video game.
Realization #4: Fred is an awful dancer :]

Here's some pictures to outline the evening for you :] thanks for reading!
