Having fun at Indoor Park


I've been working on the Dallas Indoor Park blog for a few days and brought my camera to Park this morning to add some pictures. Pictures tell the story so much better then a written description! Of course I took some photos of Grace and Ethan playing while I was at it!

Grace loves to play with the dress up clothes at Indoor Park and tries on several pairs of dress up shoes before settling on being barefoot. Today she wore a hot pink dress up number and told me she was pink Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Grace has no problem telling me which particular Disney princess she is at any given moment and never lets the color of her dress determine which she is.

Grace did a pumpkin craft at Indoor Park today since there are crafts there all week. She picked out two pumpkins to decorate and did a nice job using the gluestick. She glued Halloween pictures all over one pumpkin and made a jack-o-lantern face on the other one. She was pretty proud of her work and wanted to take them home to show Daddy.

Ethan loves to play with the multitude of balls at Indoor Park and watches the older boys play basketball very carefully. Then he tries to join in the action by throwing balls around which seems to make him happy.

Ethan also likes to play with the play tools and workbench. Today he "fixed" quite a few things with the hammer. He also spent a good chunk of time playing with the play kitchen food. He loves to put it all in his mouth which is absolutely disgusting!

I'm so glad we're a part of Indoor Park. It's a great social outlet for all of us and the kids both enjoy playing with the toys there that we don't have at home. Grace is just starting to play with other kids instead of just next to them, and is learning to navigate social situations like what to do when somebody takes a toy she's playing with. Ethan watches the whirlwind of activity and does his best to catch up, and in the meantime he is happy to chew on a plastic piece of pizza.
