Janie had a playdate with Zoe today in Alameda. Janie wanted to bring her backpack and likes to wear it in front so she can easily access her belongings.
We met up at Twirl. It’s a little place that has arts and crafts, lots of toys, and even swing and slide. She painted with leaves and luckily they have smocks available.
She also did some cutting and tried to keep Zoe company while she was having a hard time being away from Auntie Eleen when she left to buy coffee.
The playdough station was fun too. She made lots of cookies and used a spatula to pick them up when they were done “baking”.
There was a grocery store area and kitchen area too.
She loved the shopping cart, car, and stroller. She gave her baby a ride around the store.

The swing was fun and so was the slide.
We had lunch at Tomatino and the girls got crayons and a coloring page.
They set-up GG on the booster seat between them and took turns taking care of him.
We also stopped for ice cream since the girls did a great job eating their lunches.
Janie got watermelon sorbet and Zoe got ice cream cake flavor.
Janie also did a good job soothing Baby Maya when she started to cry in her stroller.
Our last stop was Quickly where they have toy dispensers.

They put the quarters in the machine, turned the knob, and each got a surprise in a plastic egg.
Janie got a Gumba (more Super Mario Bros.) and was so happy to see that she got an angry mushroom. Haha. The cool plastic egg was also fun to play with.
What a fun playdate!! We’ve gotta do this more often, Auntie Eleen!!
