The parking lot at Old Orchard Mall has been overt

The parking lot at Old Orchard Mall has been overtaken by @realfunbox ! 25,000 sq ft. of inflatable fun! ⁣
⁣
We had the honor of being invited by @chicitykids for the 𝘶𝘭𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 play date and here are some tips from our experience! ⁣
⁣
🔵 Socks are required but if you forget you can purchase socks on site ⁣
⁣
🔵 We parked in a parking garage (helpful if you want to keep your car cool) but there is surface lot parking right next to where Funbox is set up ⁣
⁣
🔵 BRING. WATER. Sun reflecting off the plastic made for a hot experience and the kids were guzzling water like crazy! There are tables and shaded areas but it’s first come, first serve ⁣
⁣
🔵 Arrive 15 min early for your time slot. That way you can remove your shoes, find a spot for your belongings, and get to jumping. They will blow the whistle and start moving everyone out 15 min before your time slot ends, so running late will definitely eat into your time. ⁣
⁣
🔵 Lastly, if you think you are making it out of there without buying your kids a sno cone, you are a stronger woman than I am 😂 ⁣
⁣
Head to @chicitykids post about Funbox for a discount code you can use for tickets! They are open until October!

⭐️ Last weekend the kids volunteered with @mysuperpowersfoundation to decorate paper bags for the annual, Bags of Hope, food drive! ⭐️⁣
⁣
Bags of Hope provides food to students in the Plainfield area who face food insecurity. This years goal is to fill 50 brown paper bags with groceries! 🥪 ⁣

Founder Stacey Montgomery’s motto is using the power of service learning to create positive change. ⁣

We have celebrated, yes. The @juneteenthfamilyfest on Saturday was delightful as usual and it is always beautiful to be immersed in Black joy and culture. Supporting the communities businesses and lifting each other up. ⁣
⁣
But it’s also a day of conflicted feelings and somber historical stories. A day of willful ignorance and rude comments from some, patronization from corporations and politicians…. ⁣
