We rang in the New Year at noon with our friends at Sky Zone Lafayette, and it was the perfect way to celebrate!

We jumped, climbed, swung, and then toasted 12:00 pm sharp with apple juice and a balloon drop. Sky Zone continues to be a favorite with the Ercoli crew — smiles, giggles, and worn-out kids all around.

And honestly… this totally counts as my New Year’s celebration too, right? Because now I definitely don’t have to stay up until midnight. 😜
