A play date at the mall

Reed had a very fun play date today and for that reason, I get this opportunity to write this blog. He is sound asleep. All the excitement tuckered the poor boy out. Our neighbor Adrienne and her son Quinton came by and picked up Reed and me and we headed to the mall. It was good for us moms to stretch our legs and get a little walking in. Then the boys played for a while on the kids area (which was surprisingly clean). The boys had a ball playing and watching all the other kids.


After the playground, we moved on to the carousel. It was a first for them both and they both seemed to like it, although Adrienne and I felt a little queasy for a minute when they got the thing up to full speed. It was going a little fast for my taste, but maybe that's just because I was clutching Reed. In case anyone is worried about Reed or Quinton's safety on the big horses, there were harnesses around them to prevent them from falling off.


All the playing had really worked up their appetites so snacking was next on the list. Thank goodness for finger foods. Quinton was also good at sharing today too. He was feeding Reed his cut up grapes and Reed was loving it.


I think Reed and Quinton will be enjoying many more play dates in the future. We are especially excited about the weather improving and play outside soon!
