Jumpin Jacks in Springville Utah

Last saturday, we went with the Jenson’s to Jumpin Jacks. Since I broke the screen in Melisa’s camera we did not get too many photos. However the Jenson’s did send us a photo:

I made the second one at picnik.com. It is an awesome online photo editor.
It is me and Sophie going down a pretty big slide. It was awesome.
