The Best $9 We've Ever Spent

Today, we got back from our week in Northern Michigan. We had a great time, and I'm so glad we celebrated Peter's birthday there. However, the travel there and back was a nightmare. Peter doesn't ever stop moving, and today's flight was no exception. It was also ridiculously early. That, combined with the time change, meant that we were back in LA by noon... An entire day with a little boy in constant motion and two exhausted parents. What to do?

Well... first we tried to find a babysitter to take Peter to the park while we took naps. When that didn't work, we decided to go to an indoor playground near our house called Under the Sea.

Peter loved it! There was so much to do. For a while, he pushed this little cart to practice walking.


Opening and closing the kitchen doors was lots of fun.



Do you think Ben looks tired?



How very LA to have a play food truck.



Is this a weird place for a nap?


I'll post some more pictures from our fun Michigan trip later this week. In the meantime, check out my brother's family's blog to see some of their pics from the trip.

So funny. You guys look exhausted! I think American Airlines should give you lots of free tickets. :)

Maybe Under the Sea should be a daily activity?

Miss you guys already! xoxo

I like this under the sea place.

Sooooo tired, but at least there was a neat place to go and Peter was entertained without too much interaction from the two of you.
