Pretend City

Friday Nov. 12th was a holiday for me. Yipee!! Anyway, I decided to take the kids to Pretend City because my friend Aracely had informed me of this great deal, 2 for 1. So I could get both kids and myself in for $9 each!! It was a terrific deal, unfortunately so did everyone else that reads her blog!! Needless to say, we had to stand in line outside for about 30 - 40 minutes before we got in. We even got there right when they were opening and to make matters worse, I had left my phone in the car. So I couldn't call my friend to have her come and get me in, which she could have. I was pretty sure she was there but I didn't want to get out of line and lose my spot, which was relatively close to the front door considering the increasingly growing line behind me, to get my phone if she wasn't there. So we stood there and patiently waited. Thankfully the kids were REALLY well behaved. I was surprised how patient they were. Once we got inside, there were things for them to do right by the line, so I could still keep my eyes on them. The  line inside only took a few minutes, and then they were off!! Well at least Lillian was, Preston stays pretty close to me most of the time. Although, there was a time when for some reason he didn't think that the women he was standing next to was his mom and he took off to find me. I saw him take off and immediately went looking for him and found him a minute or so later with a staff member crying!! The lady was just calling for assistance to help find his "lost mommy!" LOL I still can't really figure out what made him to do that, but oh well at least everything turned out okay. Pretend City is really a great place to take your kids, everything is inside and there's only one exit. The staff there are excellent and there is quite a lot of them too.
The kids had a great time and really enjoyed playing with each other. I love going here because there is so much for them to do, you could literally spend all day there. Just bring a lunch, which we did, and there are tables and chairs for you to eat at. There's even a microwave too!! They do have some nice vending machines with snacks in them, but I don't buy stuff from there.

 Playing in the little house. There's a living room, kitchen, bathroom, a child's room and a parent's room. They are playing in the child's room. There was a little bed, which I found made a great place to sit LOL, a little crib, toy box and this chalk board complete with chalk and eraser. As you can see Lillian was having fun playing with it and Preston was investigating it. She also likes posing for the camera!!

 My little car, truck, ball boy found the fire truck!! To say he loved it would be an understatement!! Lillian got all dressed up for the part while Preston just enjoyed siting inside and pushing all the buttons.

 My son's other favorite thing to play with! Once inside, you can forget about ever getting him out of it. LOL

 Love that smile, so stinking precious!!

 Both the kids loved playing with this truck and had even more fun driving each other around in it.

 As usual it is really hard to get both kids to look at me and smile. (sigh)!!

Lillian was better at driving both of them around, since she is stronger, but Preston liked driving better than being a passenger!!
