If there is an outdoor OR especially indoor playground in the Columbus/Ft. Benning area, I guarantee we have found it :-) Last week alone, we went to 3 indoor playgrounds and our very own outdoor playground on the one morning that it was in the 80s (before 10am). We have a Monkey Joe's (which is like Island Playground back in the Beaufort area) about 3 miles from our house! It's wonderful ... and we've been meeting a friend there on Mondays. Let me just say, I knew Jake loved bouncy houses .... but Cole almost makes me nervous, b/c he has NO FEAR. He just wants to be in the mix with the "big kids" .... the older, the better. So, I myself get a pretty good workout, too, while at Monkey Joe's :-)
Cole figuring out what his next move is going to be ....
"Yep, I can do this Mom... no sweat"
And he did....
Jake and his friend Christopher playing a video game (well, pretending).
Of course Cole needs in on the action....
Cole is ready to race Lightning McQueen ...
Yep, I was thinking it was about time to shift gears, too Cole baby :-)
Jake heading up to the big slide
Playing together ...
NEXT playground is at the church we've been going to here, Cascade Hills. We really, really, really like this church, so we're pretty bummed we are only going to be here for a few more months. It's a great fit for us! They have a Military Moms group that meets on Wednesday mornings at their indoor playground in their facility, so we have been going to that and making new friends and of course the boys LOVE it! Playing basketball....
Here's a picture of some of the play area....

On to the next playground .... Pirate Playground on base. Amazingness (come on Marine Corps...get with it) ;-) This is Jake playing "American Gladiators" ....
I'm not sure if this is a dance floor or what, but Cole especially loved all of the colors!
Heading up the stairs for the pirate ship and all the planks and slides....
AND last but not least, our very own "backyard" playground. The boys have been legitimately playing together a lot more in the past month. Jake was all about going down the slide with Cole, and even though Cole kind of wanted to do it himself, he was a good sport :-)
Here is Cole (and Jake) at Monkey Joe's climbing up the stairs for the BIG slide!! I had to cut this short, but Cole does make it all the way up there! The only bummer is I pretty much have to go, too, b/c all the 6-year old girls want to slide down with him - and Cole doesn't want that - and it's not really that safe, b/c even though they don't mean to grab his neck, they do, so I know they are just trying to be nice, but I pretty much have to follow him up and slide down with/next to him. Cole loves it, though. I'm not sure why I ever thought he would stay in the "2 and under" area!!!!!!!
