1. Monkey Joe's or Pump It Up--Indoor inflateables. The ones around here have older kid slides and also toddler sized areas. And of course, the little ones always want to slide, but can't make it to the top on their own...therefore, Mommy must climb. Here in our town, Wednesdays are half price. You can also get a frequent visitor pass.
2. Play Nation--An outdoor swing set company with an indoor showroom. Here, we can pay $3 to play. Can't beat swinging, sliding, and climbing all in an airconditioned room!
3. Mall play area--Free! And you can do a little shopping while you are there!
4. Family Life Centers at local churches--Our church allows free play for its members. The little ones can ride a scooter or throw the balls around. A great open space to let them run free!
We love to go to Lowe's. Mark will do anything I want him to do with a promise of sitting on the tractors. And Chic-fil-a usually has great play areas. I go and get a coke and can watch the kids play for a while. It helps tire them out and keeps mom from getting all cooped up. :) But I have to stay away from the mall. It makes me want to spend too much money!
