Thanks Facebook Updates!

Janelle worked Monday instead of today, leaving the whole family home for a Thursday. We hatched a plan to head over to wanawaves in Shipshewana only to discover they aren't open during the week in February. So, last night we found ourselves trying to figure out something to do on a February Thursday with a 15 month old.

Enter Twitter and Facebook Updates. I pulled out my cell phone and sent this message to my Twitter account (which was immediately forwarded over to my Facebook Updates)...

I need some ideas on where to take a 15 month girl old for some fun on a thursday in february.

This morning, I discovered 11 comments all containing ideas. There were a couple oddities (Wendy's and the woods didn't really get me too excited). In all, we had some great thoughts thrown our way.

We settled on heading into downtown South Bend to check out the South Bend Chocolate Cafe right next to the College Football Hall of Fame. There's a great playland there. We ate lunch, played in the little AND bigger playland, and had some chocolate treats. It was a great time together for the three of us.

Were any of those ideas you received very cheap or even free? I tell you, trying to have family fan with 4 kids is expensive, and we would rather save our money to use on vacation. Any ideas you want to pass on? Family game night is getting pretty old, and my kids have outgrown "playplaces".
