Anyway (before I get all teary) we went back there today and it was even better than the first time. The boys LOVE the Tot Trails room, and spent more than an hour exploring and playing and just generally having a blast.
Here is a shot of them at the sandbox, before things went very, very, very wrong. (Picture Cary's hair covered in sand. And Dean's too).
Here's the "lawnmower," which was a huge hit, as you might imagine. Cary commandeered it half the afternoon, when he wasn't on the mega Lite Brite board. Dean made an adorable motoring noise when he rolled it back and forth.
OK, there were a couple small tussles. This one was over a duckie on a stick.
But mostly there was fun. Here's Cary staring at himself in a mirror, calling himself, "Deee." (Dean.) One day my child will realize that he is Cary and Dean is Dean.
Dean -- banging things with a stick. (A favorite pasttime.)
Cary and his second favorite thing -- the Lite Brite board. He OWNED this thing.
Dean smiling because I have told him 15 times to stop EATING the stick. And somehow this is funny. Little stinker.
BUT...by far the best part of the visit was meeting up with my VERY FIRST BLOGFRIEND!!
Beth brought her super-adorable boys William and Seth to Port Discovery and we met up. It was so great to meet her; she was kind and sweet and funny, very much like her blog (which I have become a huge fan of).
And I am more in awe of her now that I know a little more about her crazy schedule (seriously, I don't know how she does it) and now that I've met her boys in person. They are so stinkin' cute!
And Beth gets kudos for wanting to hang out with a pregnant woman with maniac twin toddlers!
It was so nice to meet you, Beth! I can't wait for the next playdate. And the first grown-up date -- whenever I can have cocktails again!
