Kid Spree!

Today we went down to Aurora (southeast suburb) to KidSpree. An all kids' day in the park with 50+ free activities for kids to do. The girls had a blast!!
First place we went was "Candy Land."

You can see the colorful tiles in this picture that were representative of the game board.
Then Jacqueline found her way through a maze. She had so much fun taking all the turns and having to back track to find her way out.
Next was the giant sandpile. Jacqueline loved it and climbed right in.
Leah was the skeptical one who didn't want to play in it if she had to sit or stand in it. :)
We did some fingerpainting in the State Farm tent, which actually had 5 different activities, but I didn't realize this until we were moving on. Jacqueline's finger painting ended up being a big brown blob and I threw it away as we were leaving the tent.
Leah's finger paint was awesome! We brought it home (very carefully because it was wet!) and I am hoping to frame it! Both girls ended up with paint on their clothes, and I don't think it's going to come out. :( I'll have to keep trying.Next, Jacqueline and I went through Hi Ho Cherry-O. You got a bucket, and all the trees had "cherries" on them. You spun the wheel and took that many cherries. We ended up with a full bucket and we didn't even go to all the trees.
Here is Leah playing in one of the Little Tykes houses. This was probably her favorite area!

Jacqueline made it to the dress up stage and had a blast! In this picture you can see all the brown paint she got on her pretty dress. :(
I love this one!
After we left the park, we went to lunch at BJ's, and then stopped by Guys and Dolls, a kids' furniture store, so now we have to decide who is going to get new bedroom furniture, Tina, or one of the girls? Do we move the crib, or let Leah keep it since she doesn't really want the toddler bed? Hmmm! Decisions, decisions, decisions... and we really need to make them soon! :)
Then went to Tia's 30th Birthday Party. We got to see, but not hold, Tia's 10 day old baby. Just too many people to let everyone hold her, but she is adorable! It makes me really excited for Baby Tina to come along!
