Family Fun

When you have small children, places that were once your personal nightmare become a magical dreamland. Baby day at the movie theater is one example. We enjoyed another example this past Sunday: a restaurant that sells tiny burgers, corn dogs, sweet potato fries, and cold slab ice cream, has a fenced in playground, and is crawling with small children. Only families with kids under 8 years of age dare attend. It is very loud. Every surface is kind of sticky. The tables are designed to be cleaned easily by a hose perhaps once a day. Tillie is finally big enough to enjoy the playscape, which usually engages no fewer than 15 screaming tykes. I think she did the circuit about 25 times. Scott and I had a little indigestion afterward, but the kids both took 4 hour naps that afternoon. Mama like!
