Exploration & Adventure

Today we went on a Mom & Tot outing with Mothers & More to Exploration Adventure at Odyssey Fun World.  Because our outing was during the school day, the building was a little tricky to find, and it was bitterly cold and snowy out, our group was the only people in the entire place! We barely even saw any employees! (And we didn't need to pay for it to be a private party!) It was great! (Story with pictures)

“The Exploration Adventure is a 4-story tall, soft-play structure designed for children between 1 - 10 years of age. Each structure is unique; however, they all encompass traditional ball pits, slides, tunnels, mazes, and more!"

Shawn said, "It was too fun! I couldn't stop playing in it!" His favorite parts were the ball pits, a motorcycle ride (that I didn't get tokens for, but he pretended anyway), and going way up high to the top of the towers. Shawn even helped "rescue" a few of the younger kids who got stuck in the high structures and couldn't figure out how to get back down. Afterwards, he proudly announced "Mission accomplished!" Shawn and some of the other preschool aged boys even had fun playing in the baby area, which wasn't supposed to be for big kids, but as long as there weren't any babies using the area, we said it was okay. There was a tree house and creatures like dinosaurs, a frog, and an alligator to climb on. Lilly had fun exploring a ball pit and the babies' area, too.

Our Mothers & More friends had to leave to get older siblings from school, for nap times, or simply because they had been there long enough. So Shawn, Lilly, and I were the only ones left. Though I kept trying to talk Shawn into leaving to get a snack, he was having too much fun playing! I thought it was a bit eerie to be the only ones in the entire play center, but I will admit it was also nice not to have to compete with anyone for space or listen to the extra noise.

It was a fun day!

But why isn't Shawn tired?!?!?
