The morning started with this fun carousel ride, complete with jumping horses, zebras and chariots. The ride may have been TOO fun seeing as the kids weren't too keen on leaving it!

Moving on to the rest of the park, the kids got a chance to climb a rubbery "mountain", play on swings, zoom down slides, ride dinosaurs and even get messy with a gigantic sand pit. Although mommy-chat time wasn't easy with all the chasing and running around, we all had a wonderful time! Here are some of the photos from the day's adventures-

As a sweet and relaxing end to the play date, we took a ride aboard the park's miniature train-replica.

This was a great kick-off to what is sure to be a wonderful summer of MOPS fun! Looking forward to seeing everyone who can make it, at our next play date!
