Fun at INK

This summer my M-I-L introduced us to a new place to play up in Gainsville, the Interactive Neighborhood for Kids, or INK.  It's comparable to the Imagine It Children's museum in downtown Atlanta, and about the same distance from our house, maybe 5 minutes further.  But, it's free parking without a walk from a lot downtown, and $8 admission per person instead of $12.50. 

Being that they are both giant indoor play areas, I have to say I prefer this one.  It's partitioned off into different themed rooms - there's a grocery store, a beauty shop, a bank, a cafe, music room, vet office, doctor's office, dentist office, you name it.  In the back is a more open area with a cop car, airplane, firetruck, and more to climb on.  But even with daycare crowds, it's spread out enough it never feels as crowded as the one downtown.  So we headed back in this chilly weather!

Sara's favorite part was the doctor area - it was doctor stuff and baby dolls - double win!

We had a nice quiet afternoon with BFF Jill.  I made zucchini bread and an apple bake, and lamb burgers for dinner and then took David to gymnastics.  We're going to declare either tomorrow or Wednesday electronic-free day, which might be as hard on me as it is on D!
