Earlier this summer, I took the boys and their friend Heidi (and Heidi's mommy Jenny) to Discovery Playground. It's really fun, and has lots of different sensory-exploration type of things for the kids to do. They had a sand/mud area, splash pad, slides, rocks to climb, musical instruments, a trampoline, and lots more. It was really hot and the boys had tons of fun in the splash pad. Heidi loved the mud area and we had a hard time getting her out of there so she could try other things. We brought a picnic lunch and ate after playing, and the boys were home in time for nap! When I am home with them all day, my strategy is to take them really fun places in the morning and tire them out so that they'll come home and take a good nap in the afternoon :) It works like a charm!! For the sake of trying to post quickly I didn't put the pictures in any particular order, so sorry if it seems a bit disjointed!! I really like Discovery playground and I'm glad that Spokane has great things like this for kids to do, and it's free, so that's even better. I can't wait for next time so that Nick can come with us!

Mommy and Chase having lunch too after a long morning of playing!
Patrick climbed up the rock wall on the other side of this slide *almost* all by himself!
This trampoline was built into the ground, and everyone really liked jumping on it!
I think Patrick would like Heidi to be his girlfriend. Whenever we get together he spends large amounts of time walking around holding her hand.

This was Heidi after Round 1 in the mud.
This was right when we got there. The boys changed into their water clothes and off they went!!
Getting a drink after cooling off in the splash pad. I love this picture!
Yeah, so I pretty much posted those in reverse order. Oh well :)

Why have you never taken me there?!? That looks like so much fun! I love Chasey Bear! I have the same strategy in the mornings. It is hard in such a small town to find things to do with B so lots of times we just play with friends. Luckily for me that works too!
ReplyDeleteI just found out about it this summer. A client's mom told me about it. I love it, it's so cool! Next time you are here in the summer we will go for sure!
