St. Peter fun

Yes we live in a small town, but we have some great resources here for kids and Brian has been making good use of them this fall.  Every Friday, the community center sets up an open gym time for little kids.  Here is Maya checking out some of the activities...

By far, the coolest thing in St. Peter for little kids is the Creative Play Place.  It's also in the community center and it is a free space with all kinds of toys, play stations, and craft projects for little kids.  It's open during the cold months and (best of all!), it's free!  Here are some shots of Maya from their trip down there a few weeks ago.

She's climbing out of the sandbox that is under a giant castle they can climb in

The cash register in the "shoe store" is one of Maya's favorite toys

Here's Maya at the bean table

You can see part of the castle in the background over her shoulder
