There is a sand pit, with all sorts of colanders and funnels and buckets and shovels and trucks and animals. And a walkway that gathers the sand as you leave, of course. Can't have that everywhere else.
And a big tub in the middle that you could climb into and play. See those pant cuffs? Even when you think you've got all the sand out of them, you don't. And the pockets are worse. Next time, we wear leggings.
There's a little make-believe store with a cash register and baskets and play food.
There's a cool ball track where you can see what happens when you turn pipes and when you go to the other side. That little orange cone on the side has air coming out of it so that the ball will hover.
This air tube shoots balls out of the top of it and into a big funnel when you close the little flap. Katie figured that out real quick.
And Gak. Katie was all over cutting it with the cookie cutters and the scissors, but she did not like to touch it. Not so with Miss Ruby down at the end there.
But, of course, Katie's favorite will always be the water tables. She went back 3 times.
There are fun little turny things to see how water moves, boats and ducks and things to float down the current...
And they provide gumboots and waterproof smocks in a variety of sizes, so that you don't end up sopping wet.
Once we pried her away from there, we went to lunch with Papa and stopped by a grocery store on the way home. The man at the checkout counter let her pick a sticker, and she picked a butterfly. We got her in the car and she had peeled it off the paper and couldn't figure out where it went.
I don't know, Katie, maybe someone else can tell you.
"Where sticker go?"
