A couple of weekends ago, we finally had the opportunity to get over to Laguna Woods, California, to visit with GG and GP. We headed over on Wednesday night after the kids finished school since Madilyn had Thursday off for Cesar Chavez Day. And although she was supposed to go back to school on Friday, we decided to call her in absent instead.
Thursday was spent visiting with GG and GP all day. Our day was filled with all of the traditional activities they enjoy to do with us. This included shopping at the 99 Cent Store so the kids could pick out five toys, eating lunch out for pizza, salad and wings, and also a visit The Children's Place to purchase some new summer outfits for the kids.
On Friday, we drove up altogether to Calabasas to visit the Reismans and the Vorobiofs (Selma's daughter's and grandaughter's family) for Shabbat. We had not seen them in a couple of years, so it was wonderful to spend some quality time with them. The kids really enjoyed playing with the cousins and the adults enjoyed some lively conversation and a fabulous, traditional Shabbat dinner. Here are some photos from our outstanding visit.

Saturday was our last day in Laguna Woods. However, before we visited with GG and GP a little more, we enjoyed a little play time at a new indoor playground near GG and GP's house called We Play Loud. It was a really adorable indoor playground that included several different play structures for the kids like a giant four person wave slide, foam ball fountain, two foam ball dumping baskets, rainbow bridges, pyramid obstacles, web net bridges, and two automatic foam ball loading machines. The playground also included some soft play rides like a rocking boat, spinning coconut tree, inflatable UFO, a spinning giant octopus, and our cruising jumbo jet airplane ride. The kids had fun and loved the whole experience, But, we will probably not visit this venue again as it seemed like our kids were a little too old for much of it.
