Under The Sea

We discovered a fun new place to play this summer- an indoor playground! I found it online at the beginning of the summer and thought it would be an interesting place to try, and I was so excited when I saw our playdate calendar included a visit there! Unfortunately not many of our friends were able to make it to the playdate that day and we had a very small group, only me and my kids, Ang and her kids, and one other mom and her son were able to make it! We still had a great time, though! As the name of the place was Under The Sea I expected there to be some fun ocean-y themed toys to play with. There weren't. There were, though, some brightly colored sea-themed paintings on the walls, so I guess that was a good enough reason to call it Under The Sea.

The kids had a great time with the toys that were there, and I was pretty impressed with that little"playground". There were a lot of different things to play with, including a baby swing, which Sam enjoyed; a ton of cars, which Jack and Austin enjoyed (especially Austin... he spent most of the day just going in and out of all the cars, one by one. It was pretty stinkin' cute!); some playhouses; hamster tunnels; a Freaking Scary Slippery Slide; a Lego table; and... a train table! I managed to keep Jack from noticing the train table for a good long while. Eventually, though, he did see it and it was all over at that point- there was no way I was getting him away from there!

Here are some pictures (and a little bit more commentary) from our day:

Okay, that Freaking Scary Slippery Slide...

Yikes! Austin had the same experience... when he hit the bottom he just sort of laid there in shock for the longest time!!!


Um, yeah. Neither of them went anywhere near that slide the rest of the day! Especially since right around then was when they found the train table!

I have a feeling that we will definitely be returning to this place, as I know that Jack would love to go back! You know, as long as he avoids the slide ;)

Two more photos... I neglected to get any pictures of the fancy sea-themed designs on the wall, but here in these photos (taken by Ang) you can get an idea of what the walls looked like. That is, if you can get past the adorable-ness happening in the foreground (but be sure to check the adorable-ness out, too!).
