A Funtastic Day!

Well lately it has been pretty uneventful around here.Samantha is out of school till August 2 so we have had a lot of free time on our hands.It was pretty nice the first few days but then we have been a little bored.I try and arrange a few play dates during the week so we have some different company other than ourselves.
Today we had a great time on our play date.We got together with my friend Kim and her daughter Lexi.We went and checked out this new place called "Funtastic", it is in Elk Grove, off of Waterman.It just opened last month and it is an indoor play area for kids that are crawling to 8 years old.They kids really enjoyed it, especially Dominic.I was really happy to find a place where he could run around and not get hurt.They have a big play structure for older kids with slides, and they are really fast.I went down a few times with Dominic and was really surprised how fast they were.They have a toddler area where its all soft play mats with tunnels and balls.They also have a room where there is dress up clothes and musical instruments.It is a great concept because they also have a cafe inside where they have kid friendly foods and wireless connection for parents.The only catch is to get in it is $8 a child, adults free, and no outside food allowed.Its little pricey but sometimes on a hot day you don't mind spending it, I could easily spend that at home running my air conditioner!So, for all those who will be here in a few weeks if you are interested in going just let me know!Here is a few pics and also the link to the place.http://www.funtasticplaycenters.com/

4th of July!!!

We hope everyone had a great 4th, and by the looks of all the blogs, it looks like you guys did.We had a great one too!Our day started off, with our traditional walk with our next door neighbors to Starbucks and the firework stand.It was HOT here in Elk Grove.It reached 105,so it was a hot walk, but we made it fun.We were really got lucky this year because we scored 2 free boxes of fireworks.My best friend Kim brought them over due to the fact that her brother got them through his work for free and he couldnt use them.Apparently, where he lives they arent allowed to shoot off fireworks.Too bad for him,lucky us, THANK YOU KIM!Though we got free ones that didnt stop us from buying a few extra fountains.We let Sam and Dominic each pick one.

After our walk we had fun getting ready for our night.Guest showed up around 6pm.We had over our two neighbors and kids,Kim,Joe, and Lexi,my parents and sister.It was a pot luck dinner so it was fun to try the different dishes.The kids had alot of fun playing in the pool and eating popsicles.Dominic really had a good time too.Though about 6:30 he was ready for bed.Around 9, we started our fireworks and it lasted till 10pm.Sam loved all the fireworks, she was really into it.It was a great 4th!
