Never Too Old For The City

My daughters are now 7 and 9. I looked forward to them getting a little older so that we could do more things together. For example, we went on a horseback trail ride in the fall. My oldest daughter was thrilled that she was big enough to get her own horse.

As I have mentioned, we also have gone kayaking in Puerto Rico and tubing in the Ichetucknee River. Stuff you wouldn’t do with toddlers.

But they still enjoy a good toddler-type recreation every now and then…

This is where Kid City comes in.

If you have never been to Kid City, it is a great place for little kids. Like 4 and 6 year olds.

It is a miniature city where the kids can dress up in uniforms to pretend to be firefighters, work in kid-sized Publix,  or McDonalds or a bank. They can ride scooters through the streets and stop at the cafe, or a church. If they get a “boo boo” they can seek treatment at the hospital.

And the “City” has great shaded benches for moms who want to enjoy a good book while the kids run around. My personal favorite feature!

Ryan has pointed out that it is the perfect setting to film a local “Godzilla” movie.
