Tons-of-fun minus the noise and crowds

This is where I took the kids last weekend.


I was feeling achy and feverish and really hot.


And totally overstimulated by the crowds. And I complained to Suzanne like 4 times that the live music was way too loud.


And how annoying it was that the "prizes" for all the games were "self-service" so that meant that Reed had 9,000 lollipops.

And there were lots of kids pushing to get in the firetruck seat.

But I don't think Skyler and Reed noticed I was grumpy.

And then we went back to Suzanne's and sat in lawn chairs and watched the kids play on their super-sized play structure and drank gigantic iced coffees in their lovely, quiet yard.
That was much better.
