Tiny Town, Tons of Fun

My hair stylist actually recommended we check out this next place...Tiny Town is a little "town" right next to McDonald's by the Nebraska Outlet Mall (Gretna Exit). It is really a simple concept (can't believe I didn't think of it). It is basically a variety of wooden and plastic kid size house staged with kitchens and dishes and tools and books that kids can walk through and play. There is also a large cement slab with several different cars and push toys (this was probably Sheridan favorite area). A large blow up circus train - a bouncy house basically. A water splash pad and a train that goes around the park. At only $4.50 per person (plus $1.00 per train ride) it is a pretty reasonably priced activity. We went on a Sunday afternoon and there were maybe 15-20 other kids there, there is plenty of room so it never felt crowded. Some of the houses are starting to get a little run down and it appears they haven't replaced any of the ride in cars since they opened in 2004, but never the less Sheridan had a great time!

A place not suitable for an 18 month old...Coco Keys. I had a couple of free passes and since kids two and under are free Jon and I decided to spend rainy Monday afternoon at an indoor water park. Even though it feels like 100 degrees when you walk in, as soon as you get a little one wet and then she barely moves around - the shivering and blue lips start to appear. Most of the activities involve large amounts of water dumping on top of you unexpectedly, the slides are way to big and scary for a little one (plus they really hurt your back!) There were several kids there who were probably 7 or 8 and were having a blast, so definately some place I would revisit but probably not for several years.
