The answer is a resounding YES! McDonalds playlands have been a frequent spot for us this year. I'm still not sure how the math works out between calories consumed and calories burned for the girls, but on this day, I'm pretty sure the calories burned won out. We met up with some friends who have recently moved to Fresno. Turns out the halfway point between the Bay Area and Fresno is Modesto and a playland seemed to be a safe bet for a place to meet up where the kids could run around and the moms could talk. We never dreamed the kids would stay occupied for 4 hours! About 2 hours in, they were all ready to stop, but then we got them a snack and they headed back out to play. It was only after we were getting up to leave that we noticed the sign posted on the wall that said something about a 60 min limit, no loitering - oops! My friend Dawn is as passionate about getting outside with her kids and exercising as I am and we will be running a half marathon together in June, so it was great to catch up with her.
Today was also easter egg painting day which the girls had been anxiously awaiting since they arrived in CA. The dominant egg colors were browns and flesh tones - that's what you get when preschoolers are coloring your eggs. They were so proud of their eggs that they refused to let anybody eat them and insisted we bring each and every one back to Seattle.
