Playdates

Arden's first playdate ever was with Trey. We met Trey and Rebecca at a place called Romp N Roll. Arden seemed to enjoy it and loved climbing.

She constantly went in and out of this pool:




The following week, we had another playdate with a group of babies. Our next playdate with Trey was to a pumpkin patch, but I already posted those pictures.
On 11.19.09 we went to Monkey Joes. Trey didn't really like the inflatable stuff because of the way the bottom sinks in when you move, but Arden loved it. She really loved the slides too.



Here is Arden watching 'Monkey Joe' walk away to say 'hi' to the other kids. He spent a few minutes playing with Arden and she LOVED it. This girl loves characters dressed up. We took her to a Checkers game and she loved Chubby the mascot so much that she cried when he left her. They brought the mic over to her and tried to get her cracking up on the jumbo tron but they couldn't get the camera guy over (they were shorthanded that night and didn't have a camera on our side like usual). Everyone in the sections around us were watching and laughing. Chubby would barely touch Arden's belly, and Arden would laugh hysterically. EVERY TIME. So so cute.



On 12.10.09, we went to the mall with Trey to have their pictures taken with Santa. They LOVED it.


Afterward, they played with the trains at the bookstore.




On 12.16.09 we had a play date with a cute little girl from church, Emery. She is a few weeks younger than Arden. They have played together very well at church a few times, but seemed to do their own thing most of time this date, and Arden was somewhat clingy.
