The Magic House!

We made our first trip to The Magic House last week, coolest place ever!  My twins loved every minute of it!  With a family of four, I was worried it would be a bit pricey for us, but for the amount of FUN that you can have there, it was worth every penny!  We spent almost 3 hours there and could of spent more time there if it wasn't close to dinner time and two very hungry toddlers.  I think a yearly membership for us will be worth it as I see many more visits soon!  A must place to go in St. Louis!!

Free Open Play at Ladue Early Childhood Center

We recently went to Ladue Early Childhood Center for their Friday FREE open play day!  They have a fantastic treehouse play area with slides, a water feature and lots of nooks for little ones to explore!  My twins, who are 4 had a blast checking out the treehouse.  They also have a wonderful water feature and they open up their gym for trike riding, basketball and other fun activities.  They allow you to even venture outside to their playground where you can play on their playsets, sandbox and take the trikes outside for fresh air!  It was a great place to burn some energy off and its FREE.  Great place!  Check out the calendar for dates and registration information!
