In the afternoon, we went to visit a play area in a department store. After a few wrong turns we got there and first had some snacks. I gave Mommy’s lemon drink a taste and quite liked it! But I mainly stuck with my orange juice and snack crackers.
The play area had this cool pedal bus, that I spend a lot of time in. We went around and around. I wasn’t quite able to get it going by pedaling on my own, so Mommy assisted me around my bus route.
It was so much fun and felt like I was a real bus driver. Luckily at the time of day that we went, there weren’t many other kids there so I could drive the bus as long as I liked.
Mommy and Daddy eventually convinced me to visit other parts of the play area. I first went to the sand box, which was not really sand, but sand-like pebbles. It was nice, because it didn’t get everywhere and irritate your skin. It also had projection mapping that made it look like you were on the beach with waves coming in, fish swimming around, and crabs diving into holes.
Next we went to a bouncy mountain. I was a little hesitant at first, but then had a ball bouncing around and tumbling down. Even Mommy joined in on the fun!
The final area I visited was the train track area. Sure, Daddy and I just played with a train track this morning, but the play area had so many more interesting pieces and props. It was a lot fun to play with and also helped me make a shopping list of all the things I want for my train track at home.
What a fun time at the play area! On the way home I perused a catalog I picked up at the shopping center that had all the newest Tomica listed. I had considered sending Santa the entire catalog and just telling him, “I want all of it!”
