It's Playtime!

There's a great place for kids in town called "It's Playtime." Our first time there was last Valentine's Day, (awww, romantic, huh? Complete with a fish fry for dinner! LOL) Ella was only 1 1/2 yrs at the time, and she did enjoy it, but man, she LOVES it now! We always save things like this for the winter when we're not able to hit all the parks around us. There's tons of things to do for the kids, ranging from slides to ride-on toys. Also, it helps enhance their imagination with tons of dress-up clothes and a small stage, as well as a kitchen. There's even a rock-climbing wall.
Here's Ella climbing up to the slide



Heading down as fast as she can; just to run up and do it all over again!



She has a hard time deciding what to play with first. Runs from one thing to the next! If you want a good nap for your kid(s), bring 'em here!



These dogs are her absolute favorite. She never seems too happy when another child is playing with one of them, even when she's perfectly content with something else. We are working on the art of sharing...



Every time we have went, the employees have been great at walking around sanitizing toys and putting them back in their place for the next child to grab. We did go last Saturday with a friend, and it was the busiest we have seen the place. But, even at full capacity, it did not feel too crowded for the kids. Just have to look a little harder to keep track of your little one, though they wear bracelets and there's only one exit, so it does feel pretty safe. :)

Hmmm...I should get a cut of the profit for promoting this one! LOL

Isaiah went to a birthday party there just before Christmas. He loved it too. Just be prepared to fork out a lot of dough if you want your kids' party there...it's $150-300!

Yeah, I saw that! Mmmmm, we'll just stick to the $4 visits! ;)

How long do you get for $4?

You can stay as long as you want. I've even seen some people leave (to get lunch, etc) and come back. We usually stay a couple hours, then my munchkin's ready for a nap! :)
