Fairytale Town

We took Ella to Fairytale Town for the first time this past Tuesday, July 24th.  Where was this when I was a kid??  Tien and Claire joined us and the girls had a good time walking around.  It was so cute to watch Ella's reaction when she see's Claire - my friend is here!  As much as she enjoy Claire's company she still resists being touched or being too close.  E sure likes her personal space.

I think I won't get a membership pass until Ella is about 3 as most of the amusement park is designed more for older toddlers.  For now, we'll enjoy our membership at the Zoo.

Johnny's Incredible Pizza

This past Monday, July 23rd, we took Ella to Johnny's Incredible Pizza (same concept as Chuck E Cheese) and she didn't enjoy it as much as I thought she would.  Will have to wait until she's 3 before we try it again.  She did like the bright lights and the games that she can touch and stomp on.  If anything, she probably enjoyed being with the other kids while they had fun.

The buffet (to my surprise) was pretty good - even the pizza!  I was expecting the worst but overall the experience was good.  I like how the food area was completely separate from the games which makes taking kids more enjoyable for the parents as you have more control.
