Then, one kid was smiling at her and I think that got her moving towards one of the cars. He was really nice to Arianna and played for a bit (there were other kids that were not very nice, and you had to keep an eye).
Then, she went everywhere! Especially to this toy on the wall, where you can flip the pieces back and forth. It was hard to get to the toy because this lady had her stroller almost in front of it, even though we were squeezed in there playing, she did not move it. I kept trying to go somewhere else, but Arianna really wanted to play with that, and she kept walking back every time. Eventually the lady left and we were able to play, but Arianna was interested in something else by then ;)
She was interested in driving her first car! She sat there for awhile, and drove us to Indiana. I imagine that one day that may not be so far fetch either.
Then, she wanted to climb in top of the turtle, so I helped her. And when she was on top, she was fine for a few minutes, then she wanted to come down.
We also noticed that seeing other kids made her try to walk even more. There were three girls playing "your it", and running around screaming and were very excited that all the younger kids, started to follow them, including Arianna.
So, after about 20 minutes, we decided to leave. Too many kids had come into the place and was getting really crowded. Although the biggest problem was not how many they were, the problem was some of the kids that came by (2 especially) were very mean to the other kids and he was interested in the same thing Arianna was playing with so I did not want to risk Arianna getting hurt. Besides she was getting tired and quite frankly we were too. We were some "old timers" by comparison!
All in all, we had fun and Arianna loved it. I think she will like it even more when she can run!

The picture of her in the blue car reminds me of Glenn playing there. He sat in the same exact car! Cool! I was hesitant for a long time to put him in play areas like that because the other kids looked insane, running too fast, too many diff ages (8 yr olds with <1 yr olds), and I thought those cars were too hard, turns out the cars are soft somewhat to the touch. We also left after a while when too many kids came in, and some kids are cute and others are too fast or crazy. :-)
Tiff: Well, they are related :) I guess they can go "cruising" one day [with us in the back to patrol] LOL.
