February Roundup
February may have been a short month, but we still packed in tons of fun. This month, I thought we’d put a high school yearbook spin on our roundup post. So read on as we scroll down memory lane with the outing most likely to… #1 ….result in a four-hour nap.The Bright Spot Playplace in Vernon […]

Wordless Wednesday: Boo vs. Spaghetti
We’ll need to work on those table manners before our next installment of the Tiny Diner Series. 🙂
Playroom Meets Cafe at Stay and Play in Old Saybrook
Update 2015: This venue is no longer open. They (unfortunately) closed their doors permanently earlier this year.
