We started the day off with breakfast at McDonalds. We LOVE their Cinnamon Melts and Fruit & Yogurt Parfaits, so that's what we all had- then it was time to play for a while..... who goes to mickey d's and doesn't play?
After we ate the girls wanted to go across the street to D&B to see the rabbits and baby chicks, and since it was their day...away we went!
After admiring how cute some of natures most annoying creatures are as babies, we wanted to go do something fun. I wanted to take them somewhere they had never been before- that was hard. We've been to basically every kid place around: Kid'n Around, Bounce, Jump Time, Planet Kid, Chuck E Cheese, Pojo's...you name it. I had to take Louie to the ER on Monday- long story- and while we were there, I was looking at a Parenting magazine, and they had an ad for a place called Bodies in Motion....very similar to Kid'n Around, up by the Fred Meyer on Federal Way. We decided to check it out. Like I already said, it's very similar to Kid'n Around, but honestly Kid'n Around is probably better, the only caviat to that is that it is ALWAYS packed and the place is constantly complete chaos. Bodies in Motion was pretty mellow in comparison. There were probably about 10-15 different families there, but it wasn't crowded at all. It is about 3 times the size of Kid'n Around. The jungle gym is huge, and they have some really awesome slides, but they really lacked on the other play areas. They also have a little cafe for lunch and snacks, but didn't offer much for kids which seemed odd. Anyways, all in all it was fun. We would go again.
On the way home from Bodies in Motion the girls were hungry and wanted to stop for some lunch. Since I'm such a health nut, we stopped at Wendy's. ...... : /
After lunch it was time to come home for Zoe's nap. Bella just had some quiet time in her room, and mamacita also took a little siesta.
Bella decided she wanted biscuits and gravy for dinner so after naps, we went to the store and grabbed all the stuff to make that. The girls wanted to do a craft at home, so we got some 'melty beads.' Most of you women out there around my age probably remember playing with these when we were young. It has little bases with pegs on them that you put these colored beads on and then iron and the beads melt together. Super fun. I decided it was time to introduce the girls to one of my favorite past times so we got a big box of those and got to creating as soon as we got home while I made dinner.
Sadly, the bead thing only lasted for so long before we needed to do something else....so we made salt dough. By this time I was pooped and the camera was put away. BUT, we played with the salt dough for a little while and then luckily for mom, it was time to get ready for bed.
It was an awesome day with my favorite two people in the whole world. Thanks for hanging with your mom girls...it was a super fun day! I love you guys!
