Today Colby and I met some friends out at City Park. We had a great time. We met Krisite and her son Cade who is 1 and then Heddie and her 2 kids Nathanel is 3 and Zoe is 10 months. First we played on the playground. Today was a beautiful day...a little chilly but I love it like that! We played on the playground for about 45 minutes. I think the 3 boys had a great time running out some energy! Colby and Nathanel had races down the slides.
After we felt like they ran enough energy out on the playground we headed across the street to Storyland. We have been wanting to bring Colby here for awhile. That was his 3rd or 4th time to play at the playground but the only time he has been in Storyland is during Christmas in the Oaks last year. He was a little young plus it was so crowded he couldn't do much. I think now he will definitely remember!
Here is a recap of all the exhibits:
Playhouse-Colby and Nathanel loved this. They both climbed to the top and walked down the stairs.
Rocket Ship-Another favorite of the older boys. Colby lingered in this about 10 minutes he loved all the buttons.
Little Red Riding Hood's House-Colby was a little timid of this...he would walk up and say hey and then scurry away he never would get real close to the Big Bad wolf...funny thing this used to spook me too as a kid!
Pinochio and the Whale-Colby liked this but he was timid at first to cross the rocks then a little scared to go all the way in the mouth...once again I was the same way as a small child. He warmed up eventually though but I was scared he was going to fall in the water...a cold day and no change of cothes this wouldn't have been good so we moved on!
Jack and Jill's Hill-All 3 boys really enjoyed this! Colby loved the fast slide! He went down it many many times!
The old lady's Shoe-This was a fun one for the boy's also! They all seemed to enjoy opening and closing the door!
The Three Little Pigs- Colby loved this! He had to go up to each pig and speak to them in oink. He also had to shake their hands. He walked around looking at them closely for over 10 minutes. Then he had to check out the brick house!
The Firetruck- This was by far I think Colby's favorite exhibit. He didn't want to leave. He loved that you could climb on the side, in the front, and in the back. He sat in the drivers seat for a good 15 minutes I think!
I was kinda sad Colby wouldn't go down the dragon slide...he was just more consumed with other things....it was also hard being by myself...I think he could have gone down alone but had Austin been there one of us could have gone up with him while the other waited at the bottom. After checking out all the story exhibits we had a snack picnic. I think all 3 boys had really worked up an appetite. They all scarfed down their snacks. It was a very fun morning! So glad Colby got to go and the weather was perfect! Now we will just have to go back with daddy!
