Angela got the ultimate 'only child' day today - there is nothing left to do to get the house ready for baby #2 and I really needed to get out of the house today to keep my mind from jumping at every little twinge in my belly.
We started the morning at Toys R' Us. If you have seen our playroom you know that this stop was not really necessary. But Bonnie is flying back to China on Sunday and we wanted to send her with some new toys for her son. Of course we can't leave that store without more things for Angela too!
After Toys R' Us, it was on to Mini Monsters. This city is full of indoor play areas that come in so handy in the very hot summer months when you just can't go outside to the parks. Mini Monsters has just recently opened and we were very impressed when we checked it out last weekend so we decided to go back there today. I can't provide too much detail because I'm way too large to accompany Ang through the maze of a jungle gym to reach the 'fun' parts - but based on what Rich and Bonnie told me it sounds like heaven for kids. It's only about fifteen minutes from our house and Angela was asleep in the car (with a snack in her hand) before we even got on the highway.
After a great nap at home we decided to head down to a local beach area for dinner and to check out a little carnival. Dinner was at Angela's favorite place - On the Border. I'm not sure why but whenever we eat here she cleans her plate and then devours the little bowl of ice cream they bring her after. At the carnival she got to ride the train and the merry go round, and daddy won her lots of toys.
Unfortunately a stuffed meerkat was not on the list of things won. I'm sure the Muslim Meerkat would make a great addition to the playroom.
