This past Sunday we were invited by some new friends to go to the Children's Hall near our house.  Now we had already been to the Children's Castle and enjoyed it immensely.  The Hall is only a few blocks away from the Castle and is totally free of charge. 

The Children's Hall is 5 (six if you count the roof) floors of activities and fun for kids.  It is really geared towards elementary school and under aged kids, so perfect for us!  We were with our friends who knew the hall very well and so off the older kids ran to the 3rd floor to climb on the human body maze/jungle gym and play with the hula-hoops.  There was also a large padded area for toddlers to run and play in. The girls got lots of exercise and Abby was in love with the hula-hoops.
Next we headed down to the 2nd floor which had a large jungle gym, a wooden train set and a large area for babies and toddlers to play. Ella loved the trains and really liked that she got to sign her name to check out the locomotive.
The kids were pretty hungry so we headed to the cafeteria for a snack and had some hot dogs and juice.  We then headed up to the music floor to make a ton of noise.
After our ears had enough we headed to the roof to try out rollerblading.  Ella did pretty well and was really excited to try it out.  They also had unicycles and stilts to try.
The play-date was a success and we enjoyed hanging out with our new friends, especially since mom is a Badger!

Kanpai!
