Kids Spend Snow Day Jumping Around in Bangor


3

Bangor - No school because of the snowstorm has some kids jumping for joy.

For a popular spot in Bangor, a little snow, doesn't stop the fun.

" About 5,000 kids come through our doors every week," said Ryan Hatch, owner of The Maine Jump.

" I run around and see if I can get on the giant slide," said Matthew.

" I like to run around and play with my sister," added Cameron.

" I like that we get to be inside and in a bounce house," explained Ethan.

Instead of digging through snow, these kids are moving quickly down slides.

" There's all fun slides and they are all slippery and they go fast and there are obstacle courses," said Cameron with a smile.

It's a much different snow day than the ones the owner of The Maine Jump had as a kid.

" My parents would throw me outside on a snow day and say don't come back til it's dark," said Hatch.

It's a way for the kids to burn off some energy and it keeps them jumping at the chance for another snow day.
