Playdate!

So there's this place in Torri di Quartesolo called the Play Park. It's an indoor gym/play area for kids, and it includes a sectioned-off area for babies. Michelle and Vivian, Susan and Lem, and Patricia and Semaya joined me and Jericho for some running, dancing, jumping, climbing, sliding and crawling for a couple hours to get rid of the rainy day blues. I loved the fact that it was a large area for play freedom; Jericho loved the red bouncy balls and rocking ducks. I have already decided that this will be the place to go when Jericho gets restless and needs a place to just go. For now, he gets in free, but when he gets a little older we will have to pay 6 euro to get in, but it's worth every cent. There's a bar with refreshments, a birthday party room and plenty of seating for parents to watch the action. The climbing tower seemed to be the most popular; it looked like a kid volcano with little girls sliding down all sides. There was a trampoline with a protective net, kid-sized houses with doors and shutters and windows, and a ball pit/tunnel maze in the older kids' area. Toward the back was the baby area with soft barriers and soft gym pads for flooring. There was tons of fun to be had here.

This will definitely be the place to grow.
