Sip n' Safari

This weekend Olivia had a playdate with her friends Trystan and Marissa. We all got up and met at this super cool place called "Sip n' Safari". I had no idea what it would be like but I have heard of some other places around Calgary that are on this same idea and thought we should try it out. So, its like a coffee shop when you first walk in with cafe tables and a place to order. So we go over pay for the kids to play and then get some tea and coffees. Then we go through to this HUGE room full of toy houses, riding toys, dolls, books, slides, hand puppets, everything you can imagine.

Olivia just stood there and looked around in awe at first. Her friend Marissa had been before so she dove right in to play. Once Olivia got the hang of it, she was off to in every direction to explore. There are benches and tables around the edge of the room for parents to sit and watch or visit. They even have a little lunch menu for the little ones so Olivia enjoyed a grilled cheese sandwich and a chocobanana smoothie! Her first smoothie and well lets just say she loved it so much it was her first official straw slurp!

Another reason this place is great, we can't really play outside here in the winter months...its been snowing for the past week! So this was a great day! Olivia was exhausted afterwards and slept a great nap in the afternoon.

We are all thinking we wish we would have thought of this great "Sip n' Safari" idea.
