Bouncing off the walls
Hi! I’m McKenna. I’m 8 years old and in third grade at Madison School in Davenport, Iowa, and I want to move to Utah after visiting with my family. My mom gets to visit lots of newspapers because of her job and lots of times we get to go with her and play while she is working. Utah is great because I got to see a moose on the loose, lots of snow in the mountains, go skydiving, surfing and jump off walls! We are already planning to come back in July just for a vacation to swim with sharks and go mountain climbing on real mountains. Kangaroo Zoo was fun. We walked into the store and saw 10 blow up bouncy things for us to climb on. We took off our shoes and put our shoes in little black locker like containers. If you forget to bring socks, they have a bunch that your parents can buy. The manager buzzed us in the front gate and away we went. There are ones shapes like animals, some like forts, but my favorite was a really tall one. You could race someone side by side and I beat Scott every time. We ran all over the place and after 90 minutes we were very hot and tired but had a great time. They have 4 different themed party rooms. My favorite was the space one. The staff was nice and we would go back again.

At Jump On It I was jumping off walls it was so fun. There are actually trampolines on the walls. They have a small kids section that is for kids 4 ft. and under. They have a few blow up things for the little kids to jump on too. There were a few people there that were doing flips and twists. They have a bunch of balls out there that you can play catch with. We counted 68 total trampolines. It’s a place your parents can take you to bounce off the walls and not get hurt! If I could, I’d fly all my friends here from Iowa to have my birthday party.
