Today Camden and I met up with my friend Gill and her two kiddos, Aiden (2) and Annsley (4 months), for a play date. When taking Camden to the doctor months ago I remember passing a shopping center with a sign over one of the units that said "Monkey-n-Around." Directly under the sign was a window painting which said "Indoor Playground." So when Gill and I were talking about getting the kids out to play and discussing other places to take them that are indoors that weren't fast food restaurants it seemed like the perfect opportunity to check it out.
Basically, its a big open room filled with various toys, slides, climbing structures, trains, blocks, balls and riding toys. Many of the toys can be found in most living rooms and bedrooms of families with children but the fact that they're all together in a clean, child-safe environment makes it a great place to put your little one down and let them explore. Gill and I were even brainstorming about how we could open a similar establishment and make it better! :)
Since Camden has started walking he's discovered that he loves to climb. He was able to climb up a mini-staircase, a jungle gym, overstuffed blocks and padded platforms. He also crawled through a train tunnel, into and out of several play houses and all around the padded floor exploring. He had so much fun and was busy playing that I didn't get a single picture where he was looking at the camera. We will definitely revisit Monkey-n-Around's indoor playground! This will be especially true when summer arrives with the heat and humidity.
