Rainy Days And Mondays

"Hangin' around.
Nothing to do but frown.
Rainy Days and Mondays always get me down."
- The Carpenters




We have not seen blue skies since early last week and need to get out and play somewhere. We took a bus 30 minutes north of the city to a suburb called Vantaa. Here is where Hop Lop resides. It is an indoor playground I have heard about from many mothers. We have been saving this field trip for a rainy day and decided this was it.

What a great place! Admission is based on the child's height (8 Euros 95 cm and taller; 5 Euros for under 95 cm; adults and lap bound kids free) and you are allowed to play for 2 hours. We shared the facility with only 6 other children, giving us plenty of room to run and play. There were mazes, tunnels, slides, ball pits, cars, blocks, climbing walls, and anything else you could imagine. The boys had a blast and did not want to leave at the end of our 2 hour window.
