The Gift of Playworld

A few weeks ago I received a call from a friend who wanted to treat the grandkids and I to an evening of pizza and indoor play at a place called Playworld (Grandville). Wow! I was very surprised by her offer, and thankful too ... so we arranged to meet her there on Friday afternoon after school.

Playworld is a fairly large indoor playground for children under 12. There are tunnels and ropes and mazes and slides, bouncy basketball courts, and a whole bunch of stuff for kids to enjoy. 

 Emma, Christopher, and Matthew were SO EXCITED to go and play! These kiddos take their playing very seriously. I'm so glad they are still young enough to do imaginary play, as well as to make new friends instantly. They were surrounded by a bunch of children their own age, and immediately were running and playing with all of them. 

I didn't take a whole bunch of pictures here, mainly because I wasn't fast enough to keep up with WHERE they were, and they weren't about to stand still for me to snap their photos.

This certainly wasn't our typical Friday night activity. However, now that the weather has turned colder and there is even colder weather on the way, we will not be doing as much in the way of outdoor adventures. This was so much fun! 

We came home, and even though each of them had devoured (inhaled) three rather large pieces of pizza, they were "starving" and .... definitely NEEDED a huge ice cream sundae to fill their stomachs ... 

After our sundaes, we looked at books from the library basket, got ready for bed, and enjoyed "Project X" on Netflix ... which the children loved because it was about an animal, a chimpanzee named Virgil. I'm so thankful for another great Friday night with these sweet grandkids.
