Eat Dirt....

10 Mommies & 18 Kids

We spent the morning making "dirt" pots, using chocolate pudding, oreo cookies, cool whip, and gummi worms! The kids had a great time smashing the cookies to make the dirt!

Finished products....??

Play-date @ Julie's

11 Mommies & 15 Kids
In-Home Playdate

Several of our mommies brought their 0-4 year olds for a wet & wild pool party! Watching the kids play together (even if some of them are still modeling "parallel" play) is so cool to see. Having them learn to share their toys, and watch some of the more "inventive" children use them for different purposes really is fun to take part in.

They made sandcastles, mud pies, and splashed around in the water!

Rocknocerous Concert

10 Mommies & 12 Kids
Free concert in Gaithersburg, MD
Rocknocerous played a free concert at the Pavillion in Gaithersburg, MD. Unfortunately it was hotter than blazes, otherwise it would have rated higher on our feedback score. After the hour long musical event, we went for lunch & got to know the new mommies who came out and met us.
Definitely not fine dining, but Old Country Buffet actually worked out really well for all our kids. They got to explore and try some new foods (and make a mess with the jello), and we were able to join about 7 tables together and have a whole section to ourselves. No waiting for the kids food to come out first, so they were able to get started as soon as we got them seated!

Wheaton Regional Train Ride

11 Mommies & 17 kiddies
Wheaton Regional Park, Train & Carousel Playgroup

We had the best time at Wheaton Regional Park! The kids love the gigantic slide, the wooden jeeps and the tire swing!

After playing we walked over and bought our train tickets. The kids had so much fun - unfortunately teaching 2 year olds to stand in line and "wait" for the train to come back and load up the next group, gets a little interesting!

The kids love riding the horses on the carousel and picnic time afterwards!
