In the morning we walked about 1 mile to a new play space I got free admission to! I have been meaning to go to this space but timing has never worked out (plus it's kind of a far walk / but too short to drive). It's a cute little space that had a decent amount of toys and was clean and nicely run. It was a private event and they had free drinks and snacks!
Maddie enjoyed herself and did not want to leave! She had 2-3 temper tantrums (mainly because she wanted to walk around with snacks, and one of their rules is no snacks in the play area). I also learned she does not like to, or understand, how to share. She was riding on one of 2 bouncy blue elephants (photo below) and kept alternating sitting on one elephant or the other. Another girl about a year or so older than her sat on the other elephant and Maddie got so upset she started to cry. She was not angry but was sad the other girl was sitting on "her" elephant. I tried to tell her we have to share but she did not understand, so I took her to another toy.

| She did not see this tool table until we were able to leave and she loved it! She especially loved playing with the little nuts and putting them into the holes. |
When we got home we had lunch before her nap. She ate SO MUCH!
After her nap we took a long-ish walk (it felt longer than normal due to the heat) to Erhler park to play in the sand. There were lots of new sand toys there so we didn't need to use our own bucket.
Later she found some sticks in the sand pit, and walked them over to the side of the train and just sat down and played with her sticks. I had to bribe her with a cookie in order to leave!
