Kim and Alyssa were in town visiting Kim's parents. Making sure not to miss an opportunity to hang out with one of my dearest friends, the girls and I inserted ourselves into their family time whenever possible. They were in town trying to enjoy the sunshine, we were enjoying our time with them. As expected actual adult conversations were very limited with four toddlers chattering amongst themselves.
For one play date, we all adventured to a local bounce house. This bounce house was like no other I have been to before. Supposedly intended for 2-6 year olds, it was challenging for me to even navigate, let alone when assisting three little girls. Eventually we found a couple areas that were manageable for us but of course agreement to stay in one place was challenging. Let's just say I am very grateful that Kim and her parents were there. I can confidently say I will only go there again when the girls are older and definitely when someone else is with me. Insane I tell you, insane.
On another play date we all went to the zoo. The girls got to see the new elephant environment with five new elephants, they were super excited. They also took a quick liking to Kim and her parents. I was old news to them, but I embraced it. We (sort of) got everyone to stay still for this picture while looking at the lions, a task not easily accomplished with four little ones.
Overall we had a wonderful time with Kim, Alyssa and her parents. We didn't get to spend as much time together as we would have liked due to illness, but I was thrilled to get the time we had. We very much look forward to crashing their next family visit.
We had a great time too and wish we could have had more time. Hopefully the girls are feeling better. Alyssa was really sad on Friday, she was asking for the girls.
