little monkeys

What fun and on a school night no less!! The Fesslers and The Tyler's met us for Family Night at Little Monkey Business. Now that Melissa is working from home we haven't seen the Fesslers in ages (we used to have lunch every Thursday!). She's due with a little girl in July and looking very cute with her little prego belly.

The girls had so much fun with their buds; Rhys, Wyatt and Cade. The bouncy house is always a big hit with all the kiddos. Again, Miss Gwyneth made me a nervous wreck climbing anything and everything and going down all the slides. I'm glad she is adventurous, but it would nice if she would let someone hold her hand on occassion. No matter how high she goes if you reach for her little hand she says "NO, I do it!". Oh, GG!

Annabelle had a great ol' time in the playhouse and had her daddy and Mr. Lansing sucked right into her pretend dinner party. They were both eating her up and she loved the attention. She served them pretend spaghetti, coffee, popcorn and broccoli and they gobbled it all up on command.

It's always a challenge to leave these places, because even though the kiddos are exhausted they never want to stop playing. I think they all had a bit of a meltdown as we were leaving, but Annabelle was really upset. She stood outside and cried and as I told her we'd come back to play another day she said "ok, but I just don't want to say bye to my friends". I promised we'd see them all again soon so I have to live up to that promise - this girl is old enough now that she remembers everything!

This little climbing contraption has always been a big hit with my girls. First stop - slide, Next stop - this thing. Gwyneth will climb anything and Annabelle has learned to swing on the monkey bars. They love it!

Pushing her face right up to the glass for a photo.
Mr. Wyatt is always good sport with me and my camera.
He requested a photo of himself with his drink. I'm always happy to accomodate a photo op...
Gwyneth bouncing away. Such a sweet and happy girl!
Annabelle has never really enjoyed climbing but once she sees Gwyneth doing something she can't be left out. Although she's younger, Gwyneth is typically the leader (and instigator, I should note!).
As Rob illustrates, Little Monkey Biz is fun for kids of all ages....
Mr. Cade finally taking a break from playing to chow down some pizza. Don't be a stranger, Cade. The Meyer girls have been missing you.
This is just double trouble. Annabelle and Rhys are just too cute together. We can usually get Annabelle to do what we want with a promise that she can go play with Rhys. He's almost as good of a reward incentive as the park!

I tell ya, I'd take these girls to Little Monkey Biz every night if I could. They came home, got on PJ's and went right to bed with absolutely no fuss. They were wiped out!
