We have started a new "field trip" playgroup with the Mom's Group I am in. Members offer to host, and coordinate a group trip to do something fun/different with the kids. Some of the past ones have included things like a pizza restaurant tour- complete with the kids getting to make their own pizza, a tour of a petting zoo, etc. I volunteered to put together the one for this month, to go an visit a new Kid's Fun Center in a near by city. It was so fun, the kids had a blast! There was so much to do, climbing, dress up, painting, slime ball throwing, inflatable rides, Karaoke, arcade games....... All for just the admission price, no extra tokens required.
The Mommy's had a great time too- especially since the place was wide open, clean, and safe, so we were able to let the kids pretty much run around, while we relaxed a bit. There is only one exit, which is gated and staffed, so there is no way that children can leave without their parent.

Afterwards, a group of us went out for lunch at my old favorite hangout from college/graduate school. Didn't know if the food (especially the fried cheeseballs) would taste nearly as good as they did back then- but it was just as yummy as ever, even without the frosty beer to accompany the food. The kids thought so too, as we ended up having to order 4 baskets of the cheeseballs!! Brayden keeps saying that he wants to go back to the "restaurant where Daddy and Mommy got married" (I think he is a little confused; I had told him that is where we first met. I love the place and all, but not my idea of where to have my wedding!! Silly kid.)
