Playdate

Author: donna  |  Category: Dylan, Lainey

It’s just me and the wee ones this week, with Randy out of town for work and the big kids on choir tour. It’s been WEIRD. I’ve only washed clothes and ran the dishwasher ONCE. Unheard of.

It’s also been nice, spending time with them. We’ve worked together to get the chores done (I now appreciate my boys even more for lugging the trash cans and recycle bins down our looonngg driveway). We’ve played, and we’ve been lazy.

Today I told them we were going to do something fun, and I think I delivered on that promise. With the heat we’ve been having lately, finding a play place indoors was key!

Excuse the phone pics, it’s all I had…

Fireman’s pole complete with a real truck to climb on

Not to be outdone…

Grocery store…Lainey’s working the register.

C’mon, you know you always weigh your milk and ice cream too, right?

A quick climb…it was hard for Dylan, imagine climbing this without being able to bend (put weight on) your leg? Hmmm…

My new doctor…she looks trustworthy, huh?

Climbing on a sunken ship…

Flying a plane!

Driving a race car…

and, a boat! This place had it all.

Lainey’s face says “hey, I’m trying to bring in the crops here, leave me alone”

Their favorite room was the Cafe, which I have no pictures of. That’s because I was busy sitting at the counter, ordering food, and eating. They were busy rushing around the kitchen, pouring tea, bringing ice cream, and bringing me my bill!

They were already asking when we’d come back, before we even left. Score, mom!

    They look like they are having a ball. What is this place? Here in Richmond, there’s a Children’s Museum and supposedly it has lots of fun things for kids to do. I bet they are going to be happy to see Abbey and the trips when they return even though they’ve had such a good time all week with it being just the three of you. I’m sure it has seemed like a vacation for you.

    This looks like a great place to take little ones to play. Lainey and Dylan look like they are having a great time, too. Fireman poles, boats, planes, race cars, tractors… what “didn’t” this place have for them. Great way for kids to use their imaginations.
