Kids FINALLY See Downtown

Adam and I have ventured downtown on several occasions, but this past weekend was the first time that we took the kids. We are still learning the "cool" places to go and where/when family friendly stuff is happening. We saw that there was a Luau and concert for families on Saturday at the P&L (our usual destination for free country concerts!) we packed up the kids and headed downtown.

They had a treasure hunt for the kids, little carnival games and blow up slip and slides. They had to find and go to 7 different locations (restaurants and stores) and get them checked off to earn the chance to dig for buried treasure. AKA: cheap junk that they will inevitably break or lose and proceed to freak out as if the world was coming to an end! :) They didn't like the music...most of them thought it was way too loud! We did finish the treasure hunt, along the way we had some seriously yummy pizza at one of the stops (Adam and I eat there pretty much every time we go to the P&L!) and ice cream cones at another.


We didn't do the water blow ups and Anika was the only one that wanted to get her face painted, but since the lines were pretty long she decided to skip it. It was pretty low key, but I think the kids had fun (beats sitting at home). Lochlan got very tired of walking and after the ice cream cones he went with Adam to relax at H&R Block while the other kids did a few more free activities.

We joined Adam and Lochlan and they all got to go up and see Adam's desk which I am pretty sure was the highlight of the entire trip downtown!:)
