Fun at the toy library!

well, today we had a playdate at the toy library. i think we are going to start planning playdate about twice a month. the kids had alot of fun and they all played well together. we had 10 kids and 5 adults. this is something cheap ($2 per child), and definitely fun. the parents get a chance to talk to other adults too. i hope to have a even bigger turnout next time. i think this will be a place for most of our playdates. here is a slideshow from today:

after playing from 2-4, we went to walk around the mall. sara and her two kids couldn't stay, but the rest of us did. we walked once around and then headed to applebee's for supper. i called ahead to tell them that we had 18 people coming. we got there right at 5 and were seated fairly quickly. all of the kids were well behaved. we had aunt joan and her daughters plus her grandbaby come and join us, plus my hubby and brianna's hubby both met us there. so, we had 9 children, and 9 adults. the kids were EXCELLENT! all of the kids ate free, so just the adults had to pay. for the whole day, i paid $30, that included the library, plus all 6 of us eating and tip. how much cheaper can it get! here is a couple of pictures of our table:
