Kid Junction

Today we decided to spend a couple hours at Kid Junction. As described on its website, it is:

"...a new, exciting, award winning, parent supervised play place and learning center powered by creativity and imagination. We offer a safe and educational play space for children while providing a relaxing and enjoyable environment for parents."

I had been once with a couple of moms during the summer and it was a lot of fun but it was super busy that day (a daycare was visiting). Today there was ONE other child when we got there. Sunday is the day to go! Lilly loved it and ran frantically from one area to the next. Here she is driving her yellow corvette!

The have an adorable exercise room (Lilly says "hopasize") with 2 stationary bikes, an elliptical machine, and this mini treadmill. There is also a scale (conveniently 10 lbs light), a floor mat, and an exercise ball. So cute!!
The grocery store is so lifelike with aisles of real food boxes (shrink wrapped), a produce section with weight scale, and 2 checkout counters. Lilly loves her fruit.
Since we bought Lilly some dress-up clothes at home she's been interested in acting like a princess and dancing in her dress-up clothes. Today she had plenty of outfits to choose from. She headed straight for this "princess dress" and performed on stage for us. Here she is announcing she's ready!
The diner couldn't be more real. There are 2 retro red tables and chairs, a counter seating area, red retro kitchen appliances and all the food you can imagine. Not to mention menus (here she's taking my order) and the attire.

Making me a hot dog and hamburger...

In the post office you also get to dress the part. There are USPS boxes of all different sizes and shapes that you can velcro stamps and labels on and mail them in the slots that they fit into.


And of course there's a very large playground apparatus that is covered in soft mats and climbing squares for kids to reach. Daddy decided to take a climb as well.

Shooting some hoops before we headed home.

There is also a vet with x-rays, stuffed animals, crates, exam tables, etc. It is exactly like a real vet. She visited the vet briefly but then said she didn't want to be a doctor today.

It is such a wonderful place for Lilly to use her imagination. It's fun to watch her run with excitement from room to room. I'm sure we'll be visiting many more times.
