Mom & Tom in Town

The first week of December Mom & Tom were in town. Really they were at Disney, but that's close enough. I wanted to share some fun pictures from our visit with them.
Yarrr!!! But why is the rum gone?The claw is my master. Tim, you shrunk!The Behind the Seeds tour in D'land (The Land in Epcot). Hangin' out in Mexico with the Three Wise Guys.

Ball Pit Mania!

This has nothing to do with us, but it was just too good not to share :-) The picture above is of an actual ball pit in an apartment. The people decided to buy playground balls and a cage to contain them instead of a new couch (seriously). I am deeply jealous and want a ball pit of my own! There is only one problem: my wife.

You see, Jen was never allowed to go in the ball pit as a child. Her mom didn't want her playing in the gross germs that inevitably get all over the balls. While this makes perfect rational sense, it is hard to reconcile with my fond memories of diving, swimming, and lounging in the balls in the ginormous play areas. Given our different experiences, it is not surprising that we have differing opinions about the ball pits.

However, it is still a really cool idea and gets 100 bonus points for originality! And once they figure out how to wash the balls efficiently, I am so getting a ball pit... if Jen lets me ;-)
