Rainy Day..

I ventured out alone to get some groceries... Tom (our driver) was with Justin at a meeting out of town, so I took a chu zu che (taxi)! FUN times in the rain! I'm not sure which is more exciting - trying to find one in the rain or riding in one while it's raining! At least one I stay dry.. and least one I stay alive!

Starting to clear up outside!
I got to come home to this sweet angel...
We had fun editing some photos!
Olivia with the gang! Boss those boys... you go girl :)
PS - the last pic is at Adventure Zone - yea, we got her a membership!

Adventure Zone!!

This Wednesday, we beat jet-lag by running, climbing, sliding, scootering, pulling, and playing at ADVENTURE ZONE!!! It's the most amazing indoor play area I've ever seen - inside a new luxury hotel only 15 minutes from our house!!!!! Olivia's pal Remi had some guest passes, so we (along with Owen and Henry and Jack) were invited along for a morning of FUN!

Here is a pic of the 'baby' play area:

What Adventure would be complete without a scenic car drive!?
Bigger kids area, but we had fun exploring here too!! It's hard to capture with a camera, but the entire area is filled with places to climb and maneuver through.. fully padded, and netted for safety since it was at least 2.5 stories high!!!
Ball pit at the bottom of the big kids slide!
Here is Hannah (Remi's big sis) about to do the big kids slide!! We climbed out of the ball pit since it's the landing zone for the slide!! (And technically, we weren't supposed to be in it!!)
The little kiddos!! Owen, Henry, Olivia, and Remi! ~Olivia likes being the only little gal!
Thanks for the invite, sweet Remi!
Here we are going down the slide!! Heidi and Owen on the left - me and Olivia in the middle! It was much MUCH faster than I had anticipated!
We decided to go again!!
Scooter ride!
The place was just slightly too big for the little ones to explore alone, since once they got to the summit, they were too little for the slides.... so it's a good thing the mommas were all in decent shape and could fit through behind the babes! It was a SUPER good workout for me - and gave us great laughs watching one another crawl up and over and through the gym! Olivia needed several boosts and held my hand a few times to reach things that were too far, but otherwise was showing her mommy what a BIG girl she has become~

Let's go again!!! (yes, this is where I had to being following her!! I did get slightly claustrophobic a couple times :)
We had such a fun time!! We're considering getting the full details on the cost of a membership!! So hopefully, more photos to come from this cool play place!

To Daddy, From Olivia

You are there... We are here.. and missing you!

Really soon, we'll be doing this again:

(Aren't we cute in our coordinating colors!)

Until then, I'll be swimming :)

Have a safe business trip! We love you!
