Sunday Ethan and I enjoyed some mommy & son quality time together! And boy oh boy did we have fun!!! We went with some friends to check out this great new place that opened up about 20 minutes from here called Rough & Tumble. It's an awesome place!! They have so many fun things for the kids to enjoy including bounce houses, a big chalk wall & a huge climbing tunnel maze thing ( I have no clue what the technical name for it is). Which mommy had to climb to threw the whole tunnel maze thing w/ him! WOW! What a workout!! It only cost $8.oo for Ethan to get in & Mommy's get in for free!! We were there for about 2 & 1/2 hours! $8.00 Well Spent!!!
{ The tunnel @ the top of the tunnel maze! Like 20+ feet in the air! He got brave!}
{ He refused to go down slides last year! Today, no fear!! } 
{ He tried real hard to climb the rock wall }
{ Ethan & his buddy Alex jumping around in the inflatable play yard }
While we were there I was very excited to see a LP mom & her two LP kids come in. Not being a very forward person, I wasnt sure if I should approach them or not. When Ethan saw her he came over to me & whispered " mommy, look, a little-big lady". I guess that was his way of saying an older little person. I asked him if he wanted to go over & say hi to her but he said "no thank you!" so I didnt push it! But a few minutes later he happened to be playing in the same section as her daughter (who is probably about 12-14 yrs. old) & I hear her say "look how cute he is mom". He got all shy & hid his face in my leg, so this was my opportunity to introduce ourselves. After talking with her for a few minutes I found out she lives about 45 minutes from us & that we have a common acquaintance. Before leaving we exchanged business cards so hopefully we will keep in touch! =)
After leaving the Rough & Tumble we went for a late lunch @ Friendly's. Ethan loves Friendly's!! Especially because he thinks it's fun to sing the song from their commercials! We had such a great day together! It's nice getting to spend quality time just the two of us every once in a while. He exhausted me so much that I took a two hour nap when we got home!!
Such a fun day!

That place looks awesome! We may have to try it out someday. What a fun day!
We both went to Friendly's on Sunday and both of our kiddos got the glasses! That Rough and Tumble place looks great! I think there is a place like that around here. Awesome that you met another LP family! Ethan is getting so big! And super smart. This was the first Dr. Ain appointment this summer when Preston said "He's a little tiny Doctor." You could see his mind working as to why a grown man was not as tall as my dad. It is amazing to watch their minds work. I cannot wait to see you guys!
Jennifer!
Looks like you guys have been having fun! The Elmo show looks fun and the rough and tumble place looks adorable - I love the chalk wall and rock wall. I must totally be missing out on Friendly's ~ we don't have them in the Northwest -
Isn't if fun to meet other LP's families - and how cute that Ethan recognized the Lp's!

"Cheeseburgers, lettuce, and soda that is blue! I wanna go to Friendly's, yeah, yeah!" My kids love singing their theme song! How awesome, $8 for all that fun! Glad to hear you all met some more LP friends! That's great news!
That place looks like a blast!!! I wish we had one of those around here. All of my kids would love it! That is so cute that Ethan referred to the LP mom as a "little-big lady." Very observant he is!
How fun!! The Rough and Tumble place looks like a blast! Simon would love to try to climb that rock wall - he tries to stack things now to climb on. That's great that you met another LP family while you were there too! We can't wait to meet you guys in person!
What a fun day! I always try to do a Mommy and Taylor day about once a month or so, we both love it, and she totally needs some mommy time without having to share with Trace. I guess I will have to hit a Friendly's the next time we are travelling, we don't have them here!
