Indoor Playground

Aaron is so active, it is hard to keep him entertained at home. I've always taken him out on the days I have him all day, but now Kim also takes him out two of the three days she has him. There is an indoor playground in town that he likes. It's a nice, clean environment with lots of things to play with and explore. Kim took some pictures on a recent visit, but the camera was acting up. They all came out blurry. But here are a few of the best ones.He likes the play kitchen. It has lots of doors to open and close, plus pots and pans (and a collander) and plastic fruits and vegetables to play with. He gets very busy working in the little kitchen. But sometimes, he has to pause to watch what the bigger kids are doing. Half the fun of this place is watching the other kids, and sometimes playing with them. I always enjoy hearing about how Aaron interacted with the other kids when he and Kim come back for lunch.
He especially likes the big plastic cars (or fire engine, in this case) that kids can ride in - although he likes to push them around instead riding in them. He'll usually push them around empty, but he is quite happy to push other kids around.

Rumor has it that this playground may go out of business if business doesn't pick up. I would be very disappointed. I love that he can climb and explore and play indoors, meaning no dirt, no sunscreen application, no heat. When he's walking better and the weather cools down, we'll spend more time at outdoor playgrounds, but this is the best indoor playground nearby. I'm meeting two friends of mine and their kids there this Tuesday for a playdate. Hopefully business picks up for them.
