Yesterday, we spent our Field Trip Friday hanging out with Henry’s new friend, Maddie, and her mom, Beth! Henry and I met Maddie and Beth at the Highland Rec Center after Itty, Bitty Splashtime, and the kids hit it off immediately playing in some ice and collecting treasures in the shrubbery. We have had a few play dates since then and it is too adorable watching them play.

They spent an hour and a half splashing around in Maddie’s awesome pool, which had a dinosaur basketball hoop, small slide, and a spraying palm tree. They liked shooting hose water at each other the best, and also drinking from the hose (a summertime must, as long as the water is safe). The adults stayed safely in the shade, drinking perfect ice coffee.

After lunch, the kids set about playing with as many toys as possible (i.e. causing as much destruction as possible) in Maddie’s room, making minion hair out of play dough, and dumping board games out. After we did clean up, they had a special treat – they jammed out in the front seat of Beth’s car to kid tunes and had a blast pushing all the buttons. Henry loves Maddie so much that he can’t wait to have her come play at his house next week (we have to plan when to see her next before we leave, or else Henry will not get in the car)!
