Fun Filled Morning

Our days have seemed rather long lately and I have been feeling we are stuck at home more than I can handle, so I was excited for our playgroup on Wednesday. We even headed into Norfolk early so we could hit the mall up before playgroup! (This is even after walking over to Food Lion for a few groceries...we have LONG mornings!)

Getting to the play area at the mall before the 10 o clock opening worked very well and there were only a handful of kids there, most of which were younger than Lorelei! She had a fun time climbing and sliding for about 30 minutes before we headed over to Town Point Park.

Each Wednesday they have some games etc set up for kids for FREE, plus the water fountains for them to enjoy. This time they even had free ice cream! :) We had a great turn out of 6 moms so it was a very successful playgroup day! Lorelei enjoyed the fountains but was more hesitant than the ones at the gardens as most of these are bigger and the water gets in her face easily. She still had fun and when I would run through them with her she really loved it. :) Guess I'll have to bring my suit next time? No thanks!



Then we headed back over to the mall to meet up with Brad for lunch! Lorelei LOVES seeing her dad in the middle of the day and definitely knows that "mall" usually means "dad." As soon as we get to the mall she starts asking for him and I have to explain we are playing etc first and we will see him at lunch. :) She even got to end her morning of fun with a couple of rides with Dad on the escalator. :) I was thrilled to get home and get her down for nap right around 2 o clock. Love having such a busy day to get us out of the house!
