Russ and I have slowly come to the realization that the places we used to love and enjoy can be near impossible to go to with a toddler. For example a restaurant. When she was younger this was totally do-able. But now that we have a walking, talking, I want to do what I want to do toddler, this fun activity cannot be accomplished with her. Too much waiting. Wait to be seated, wait for food, and by the time our food comes we are almost exhausted trying to keep her quiet, seated, and entertained. Then starts the crying and wining.....It's just not worth it. Not an enjoyable experience.
So what do we do? Where do we go? We are still discovering all the kid friendly places around Phoenix. We wanted to hang out with some kidless friends last night and they suggested we go out to eat. In my mind I envisioned screaming crying baby and everyone staring at us. So Russ made the comment "why not Peter Piper Pizza or Chuck E Cheese?" GENIUS. Why have we never done this before. Of course you are sacrificing good food for entertainment but honestly it's worth it. Us adults like to play arcades too right? So we went to Peter Piper Pizza where Brynn could roam free without having to contain her. She ate her pizza, she was entertained by games, a little soda, putting the coins in the games, collecting tickets and getting prizes. It was a fabulous idea. Brynn, parents and friends were all happy.
Everyone! Where else can we take Brynn and have fun! Tell me more!
