We woke up bright and early on Saturday wondering what to do with ourselves. I remembered that I had recently read on the internet that there was a new indoor playground opened at East Coast. Since we hadn't been to the east for a while, I suggested going there.
The playground has an interesting name, Polliwogs. I've heard of golliwogs, not polliwogs. But did you know that this is another name for tadpoles, haha, simple trivia. We arrived bright and early just as the place was opening. As with other indoor playgrounds, there was an entry fee, but well worth it, as the kids had a blast. As we were early, it seemed as if the whole place belonged to us, as there was only one other little boy inside with his dad. I have had experiences in the playground where I am defending my kids from boisterous older kids half the time, but yesterday, I could let nat roam freely and even didi was truly excited crawling all around. He even attempted to walk a few baby steps, which totally impressed me. There were ball pools, ball machines which shoot foam balls, a swing and many many slippery slides, bridges and obstacle courses for kids to clamber across. Sigh, as giants in this little wonderland, we had to spend half our time crouching, our poor backs.

We spent about slightly over an hour at the playground and left only when more kids started streaming in. We enjoyed a cold drink on the little sofa lounges for kids (meant for small butts) before heading off for lunch. Our pocket dynamo nat was still full of energy while didi fell asleep after his milk, even before we got out of the playground premises.
In the evening, we headed off to a good friend's place for a bbq dinner, kids and maid in tow. I am glad that nat has grown over the past year to become a sociable and endearing little girl. Even didi was flashing his toothy grin to everyone, enough to melt your heart.
