I spent the Martin Luther King holiday with seemingly every other parent and child in Portland at PlayDate PDX. It is a giant indoor play structure that is 1) knight and dragon themed and 2) totally awesome. They have a little cafe with a kid friendly menu and area where parents can sit and watch the madness. We went with our friends Sarah and her two kids and saw two other kids from our class while we were there. The big girls did a great job of leading the little boys around, although they didn't actually seem to need the help. Everyone got along fantastically and without our help. We fed them, watered them, and gave them a place to rest and the rest of the time they busied themselves within the belly of the beast. Its times like this I feel like I could have a few more kids...
In other MLK news, DaVinci spent a car ride last week explaining to me all she had learned that day about Dr Martin Luther King Jr. I LOVE hearing her explain things that I have never talked with her about, and hearing the way our expert Kindergarten teacher Jill explains the tricky topic of segregation and the civil rights movement. She did a great job, and Stella was really impressed with Dr King for his bravery. Yay public school!
