Safari Park

Wednesday Brad had the day off. This means day off from Guttie, but still leaving around 5 pm to go into work for Oracle. Anyway, we actually had him around during the day. Hoping this is how much of next week is, as Guttie should be winding down just a bit compared to what it has been...sure hope so.

As much as I am going nuts with our "to do" list not getting done, we agreed it was a bit more important to get out and have some fun as a family, rather than staying home and doing chores. Very good for all of us. Anyway, we decided to try out a place a lady was talking to me about at Barnes and Noble, and I had seen through a Groupon deal as well. Seemed like a good indoor option. (We have loads of family fun ideas for outside...not so many for in.)

Well despite the good reviews, we were a bit disappointed. The kids did enjoy everything, especially the rides (although Makin gladly gave up his ride on the creepy robot animals to his sister, who loved it of course) and the play area, we only lasted a little over an hour there. There was a play area that had lots of tables and doll houses I thought they would be very happy to play in, but there were zero dolls/trains/etc you needed to actually PLAY with these. Lorelei's favorites were the rides and the trampoline. Just had to include the comical picture I took...very hard to get good trampoline pics! :) Oh and air hockey was another of her highlights. Brad and I are training them early. ;) Hoping to have one of these in our basement (well, if we have a basement) someday for us all to play!

Of course anything we get to do as a family is cherished time and we loved spending it together! :)
