Free!

Splash Pad!

Lego Table

Train!

Having a VERY active 16 month old means that we need to have LOTS of activities planned for our weekends. Because our house cannot handle the tornado that is Emma Clare! But, we also need to be thrifty since Chris and I both decided to work in Education (knew I should have gone to law school...). The great things is that Cleveland has a lot to offer for kids Emma Clare's age that are totally free! Emma Clare has loves going to the splash bad (the one at Crocker Park and the one in Olmsted Falls). She recently found her new love of the block and train table at Barns and Noble's in Crocker Park (although she went with Daddy this weekend and got yelled out for climbing on the table...at that age...). We also love visiting the train in downtown Olmsted Falls  (which usually includes stopping at the cute ice cream store...her cone is free!). Our next mission will be to find more indoor free activities since winter will soon be upon us. So far we've had great luck at some of the local libraries-Mayfield and North Olmsted have great kid areas (I'm sure there are others too!).
