Kaleidoscape

With two very busy weeks behind us, we looked forward to the past week and getting back into a sense of "normal" - morning - school- home- bedtime.  I must confess after two crazy weeks, my body needed rest and I was asleep 15 minutes after the kids were in bed.  Poor Leif - left to hang out by himself - I don't think he minded too much - he's a bit of a night owl anyways.

To celebrate our week of "normal" I decided to treat the kids to a special place called Kaleidoscape (http://www.kplaystudio.com/).  One of the pros of moving to Anchorage area was the amenities that would be close by.  Leinna keeps asking if she can go to "Old McDonald's" to play and thus I decided we needed a new play experience.

Kaleidoscape is a play studio!  It's an amazingly safe, clean, place where kids can just play.  There's everything from a reading corner, to art station, to dress-up clothes, a stage and musical instruments to play on/with.   They also offer classes throughout the week that I'm hoping will explore in the future.  The kids had a great time and even Leif said it was fun to just sit back and watch the kids have fun.

Here's a few pictures from our Kaleidoscape day - 

What a great fun way to spend our Saturday morning!  

Having an experience like this reminded me that as adults, we too need to find our own "Kaleidoscape"s and make sure we take time to "play."  My goal is to return to the land of knitting for at least 15 minutes a day.  We hope you can find time to play this week too!
