This Friday (6÷6÷2008) from 9:30-11am is your last chance (until September) to catch what may be the best value in indoor play in Loudoun County.

I have been hear­ing about tot time at the Sterling Community Center for months, but this week was the first chance I have had to take the kids on a field trip there. I had three lucky lit­tle ones with me and was only charged $2. Yes, only $2 :)

There were lots of ride-on toys, mats, a tun­nel, some ramps and balls, trucks and toys, etc. There was a clean bath­room, friendly staff, and a vol­un­teer ready to play. Plus, the other kids and moms seemed nice and ready to chat, though it’s not so easy to chat much when jug­gling three.

Kudos to the smart dad who brought a camp chair to sit in while watch­ing his daugh­ter play. (I should have told him he’d be famous!)

This offer­ing seems to attract a younger crowd, so my 4 year-old was by far the old­est, biggest kid there. If you bring a kid on the older end of the safe spec­trum you may need to remind him/her that the lit­tler ones are not quite as steady on their feet or as expe­ri­enced at shar­ing toys.

Sorry for the lack of pics… I can give you a smell instead of a sight, though. The room this event is held in holds a faint odor of years of smelly feet. You get used to it though.
