There's an awesome new park not too far from our house: Discovery Zone. Our nanny found out about it on a tip and took the boys there this week and said it was amazing. She raved so much that I decided to take Griff this weekend so he could let out some energy and sillies. And guess what? She wasn't kidding -- this place is AWESOME. The only downside is that it opened in June and we're just now discovering it! It is absolutely perfect for toddlers -- it has tons of little houses and play businesses (police station, Dairy Mart, theatre, etc.) as well as a firetruck to ride and play on, a schoolhouse complete with school bus that rocks, and a big music area. There's so much more, too....a huge sand play area if parents are so inclined (I wasn't), and most of the flooring is the soft rubber, perfect for safe play. AND, there are so many sounds...in fact, there are a lot of spots on the floor where if you stomp on them, they play music, or make firetruck sounds, or police sounds, or give safety tips. Swings, slides, climbing walls for tots....the place is absolutely tailored for kiddo fun. We will be frequenting Discovery Zone....a lot...this fall.
Lots of mazes and little games for little hands
Driving the firetruck, with lots of buttons that make tons of fun noises (this was his fav spot, I'd say)...in fact, when another little boy came up to play, his mom told him "no" and to wait, and as I took Griff's hand to let the boy have his turn, Griff turned to the little boy, shook his finger at him and admonished him "no, no, no". Ok, bossy flossy.
They also had a lot of "porch" swings set up around the park, and Griff liked to sit and swing at times to take a rest.
Lots of good stuff to look at...a mural of animals playing musical instruments
Drivin' (again)
And one of the best parts? Claire and Liz met up with us here and Claire was able to play
Playing the musical pipes
Rolly slide - close second for his fav
Claire in the police station. Her first [and last] time.
Thinking hard about what she'd done
And Daddy came up, too, and met us for a picnic lunch
Auntie Liz spoiling him (by letting G play with her phone)
Kisses
