This is like a children's play area on steroids. It's amazing. My mom and I took the boys, ate lunch, and played there all day. They performed all these tasks around the "city", and they got a little stamp each time they completed a task. Then, they could trade their stamps in the ATM for pretend money, where they could spend it, save it, or donate it. It was actually a neat concept for them to learn what money actually is and how it's earned.
They drove little cars all around, picked crops from the farm, planted plants, sold the crops at the grocery store, cooked/served lots of food at the restaurant, filled up the cars with gas, played at the beach, played in a water area, went "fishing", made a craft, etc. etc. etc. One of Luke's favorite parts: mopping the restaurant floor. Gotta love my orderly neat freak! :) Jack's favorite part: driving his car backwards. He hasn't figured out how to go forward yet.
Love how concentrated he was at this station:
Jack behind wheels = SCARY!
Showing Little Brother the ropes:
Fill 'er up!
So cute!
Buying some groceries:
Pickin' apples! This was pre-make-another-little-boy-throw-such-a-big-fit-that-they had-to-leave! This little kid kept stealing apples from Luke's baskets (intentionally to be ugly). When Luke finally stood up for himself and told him to stop, the tantrum ensued! Yikes...I thought Luke's tantrums were bad...this kid had to leave the building for good!
We will be back in Cali in one month. When you ask Luke what he will be doing, his first response is usually, "I'm going to Pwetend City!". He gives it 2 thumbs up!
