Where do the Children Play?

"I know we've come a long way,
We're changing day to day,
But tell me, where do the children play?"
- Cat Stevens





Here in Finland...at Hop Lop! Our first visit to Hop Lop was in early October and the boys fell in love at first sight. We returned again in December and today we met a group of moms there for our Thursday afternoon playgroup. Things have changed...



Hop Lop bought the store next door and now is twice the size. Bigger space = higher admission. The cost went up an Euro per child but still worth the 2 hours you are allowed to play. They have added 2 additional climbing structures and a bounce house as well as more benches, tables, lockers, etc.



The boys always play with the cars first and then, after some encouragement, decide to start climbing through the mazes. Once again we had a blast and look forward to another planned outing there at the end of the month.
