Storyland Playdate

There is a place in City Park called Storyland. we had never been there before but our playgroup went last Thursday and so we went along. It was a lot of fun. Storyland is a kids play area built with themes from Nursery Rhymes and other children's stories in mind. There are the Three Little Pigs and each of their houses. A pirate ship from Peter Pan, the cow who jumped over the moon, Jonah and the Whale and lots of other things. There is also a old fire truck that was used by the New Orleans Fire Department Chance liked climbing all over that. He also really liked being able to climb up the steps and slide down the slides all by himself. We have taught him to go down on his belly feet first and so he climbs up to the top then turns around and slides down. He loves it. They had a place like this in Florida when I was little which I remember being huge, being able to really get lost in it but I bet it wasn't much bigger than the storyland here in reality. Anyway Chance really liked it here and so did I so now that we know how cool it is we will be going back. Chance and Jack (the little boy in the firetruck with Chance) had fun together. They both took turns driving the firetruck for a long time. Neither I nor his Mom had to ask for them to share or take turns they just worked it out on their own and had a great time.

P.S. I have loaded a bunch of new pictures into Flickr. I had to wait a couple weeks to update my pro account but now there are tons more pictures. I am also going to make a set of Chance's Playdates to make them easier to find.
