Maggie's Birthday Extravaganza: Playland

Maggie's main request for her birthday was that we all go get sushi. The closest sushi restaurant is in Rochester, which is an hour away. So we decided to make a whole afternoon of it! We started at the indoor playland at the mall. These things are popping up in all of the malls and I think it's a great idea. Especially because I don't want to take my kids to a fast food restaurant in order to give them some play time - fast food and exercise just don't go together! So here are a couple of shots of the kids playing. I mostly took pictures of Obie, even though it was Maggie's big day. Sorry Mags!

Sitting on a Fish!

Pointing to a Frog!!

Action Shot!!!

Grandma treated the girls to a ride in the motorized ice cream truck. It's a good thing we only had three quarters between us or we may have been at the mall a lot longer.

I really tried to convince Maggie to push her socks down.

After the playland we got ice cream from Coldstone Creamery. YUM! (We did the same thing on my birthday. I really like their cake flavored ice cream!) Then we wasted a little more time by hitting the ol' Hobby Lobby to get yarn (not Maggie's choice), and then stopped by the pet store. All the kids love the pet store. Obie was old enough this time to pay attention to all the "tweets" and "meows." Very cute.

Up next: SUSHI!
