Play House and More

We had a play date with the kids buddy, Jasper, at this great indoor play space called The Play House. It's this huge castle inside with all sorts of tunnels, slides, climbing ropes, balls, a bouncy room, etc. The challenge is making it all the way to the top and then sliding the big slide down. Timo and Young made it to the top while Cameron enjoyed the lower level activities.

There was this little motorized bus, like the kind you see outside super markets, that ran all the time...no quarters needed. Cameron stayed in the bus for at least 30min. I had to keep taking her out so other kids could have a turn and then she would climb right back in.
We did climb a little way up into the castle but there were so many kids around, I think Cameron was a little intimidated. She would just "park" for a while and take forever to move on to the next obstacle. But she did make it though a little of the castle.

Then we found Timo and Jasper in the bouncy house!

Cameron ended up staying in the bouncy house with Daddy for a long time while I took Timo over to the ball pit. Oh, how he loved jumping in over and over again...

Cameron finally joined and they spent the rest of the time in the ball pit. They kept burring themselves in the balls and saying "where go bruder?", "Where go sister?" and then look all around like they had lost each other...so cute.

We were all set the go and almost made our escape when the Timo found the music station...another 15min on the drums and piano...

Once we had lunch, I knew the kids were so worn out and would never make it the 20min ride home. We decided to take a nice drive around the Bay Area while they napped in the car and ended up in Palo Alto at the outdoor Stanford Mall. This mall will now and forever have special place in my heart because it's the place Cameron threw her first unbelievable temper tantrum. Yes, we had "one of those" kids that everyone was looking at. So....while I took her out to the car and try to defuse the situation, Young took Timo all around the mall...and from the pics, it looks like they were having a blast! They ran all through the courtyard, played in the fountain and hit the Sony store for some playstation fun.

Cameron finally calmed down and we enjoyed the rest of our day but boy, I hope that wasn't just a taste of what the terrible twos are going to be like...ugh!
