Ok, I caved...







I did have to crawl into this section a few times to give her a boost back down. Ugg!!!



Well I finally broke down and let Abigail play last week in one of those hideous indoor playgrounds at McDonalds. My buddy Madeline had worked the night before and had to stay awake for a few hours before she could go to bed so she needed to be out of the house. She really wanted to play at the indoor jungle gym so I reluctantly agreed. Usually I tell Abigail those things are just for sick kids to play in. I absolutely hate them and I'm bound and determined they are full of fecal matter and snot up in those mysterious tubes high above the ground!!! Luckily the Bit was a little intimidated by the depth and spread of them so she actually only followed her Lilly up threw it a couple times and she wasn't thrilled about either time. She would hollar for me and crawl to a window like a lost little hamster and cry in the plexi glass look through. I coached her down and mostly she just played underneath squealing and laughing at the other kids coming and going. I bathed her as soon as we got home and hopefully we'll opt for another activity next trip. But my friend Madeline is worth it, and Abigail is always thrilled to get to squeeze in some Lilly-ness.

YEAH!! What a super fun playdate!! I totally agree--hate these 'tube play' places....had to go up in one once to find Hamilton and I could just feel the grease...NASTY!!! We stay far away from these, too...especially during the winter months! :) But, I'm glad you gave in & Had such a great time! :)

It's a rite of passage. Don't you remember the balls at Chuck E. Cheese?!
