We are about ready to open PLAY! Very excited but lots of work this weekend and will be more scrambling this week... but I love the new business days!

Friday night Bumble was so crowded we moved our "party" down to PLAY for a family dinner in the courtyard while the kids tore up the playspace

This was my solution for hauling "to go" dinner from Bumble two blocks away in the rain. Good work BOB :)

the big kids holding court over the poor third child babies - no way they were getting in

There is a really neat skylit courtyard attached to PLAY for events, eating and working on laptops (or try the VIP Members Lounge for working relaxing on site - pictures coming!) Here is the courtyard all set up for a private event we did this morning

the cake table (and member lounge behind the turquoise door :)

The butterfly birthday girl today - she was so cute and this mom was soo organized! made for a fun/easy first event

and some recent photos of the playspace.... view from the front check in

Light table and light "flowers" kids can control with a spectrum remote

exploration tables and climbing structure

Janie (not camera shy like her sisters that day) on the science tube table with light tables behind her -

check out the animal prints that show x-ray structure when placed on light - pretty cool

the Book Nook

Building blocks and view of the classroom (and there's Janie again - little Where's Waldo of this post :)

Classroom entrance and our official "audience seats" in the foreground for puppet and talent show productions

This is where I was instructed to sit and ready a book "to keep the baby from squirming and interrupting our show." thanks big sisters

Friends (and anyone local reading this blog or PLAY blog!) can come check it out this weekend - just say "you saw it on the blog" for a free guest pass to try it out for yourself :) see you there! We even have a Grandparent social Fridays 9am-11am - Jannie better bring all her cute grandma friends! SCHEDULE HERE
