Riley and Avery

We had actually never been to Focus on the Family, in spite of hearing great things about their (free) play area. Riley really liked the super-huge slide (it was stories high, I don't know how she could handle it). The Narnia portion really got the girls interested. Riley and Avery enjoy it because they said it reminds them of Grandma and Grandpa. Since their visit, we've read The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe (in record time, they request readings several times a day) and watched the movie a few times as well (it conveniently came on the Disney channel right as we were finishing the book). We've since started Prince Caspian, and hope to see that movie too as soon as we're done. Avery requested a Renaissance-style dress like Lucy and Susan wear in the end of the movie. I was going to make her one anyway for the Renaissance fair, and even have a pattern that I think is close enough. Lucky.

Anyway, it was a very neat play area. Avery was kind of in a snit that morning for who knows what reason, so she was a bit of a pill. We left Grandma and Grandpa there for a bit while we went home and did something-or-another (I forget now, probably grocery shop or something). We met up again to go to Manitou Springs later that same day.
