So today E and I had swimming with his bestie A and her mom. A's mom had told me she had a great play date planned for after swimming, just bring a picnic lunch. So we packed up lunch and our swim bag and headed out for the day. Today was the last swim class in our summer session..booo! E and A were hamming it up with each other and splashing around like maniacs. We finish class and successfully change the kids and ourselves - no easy task mind you! We make an emergency pit stop at Starbucks for the mommies, and then head out to the Cylburn Arboretum!

| E and I at story time |
I have been anxiously waiting to go to Cylburn and let me tell you it did not disappoint! We attempted to take the kiddos to story time, but they were not having any part of sitting down in such a fun establishment. Story time is held in the mansion. Open spaces and tall ceilings that make your voice echo is a total toddler paradise apparently. So A and E ran around the various rooms in lieu of story time. They showed some interest, but then decided to sew their wild oats.
