Mini Galleria

This morning we had playgroup at the fantastic new play area at the Houston Galleria. It is a mini Galleria for the kids to climb and play. The whole area is made of a soft, anti-bacterial product and the kids had a blast climbing all around. Finley's favorite spot was to be on top of Neiman Marcus, that's my girl.
For all the local moms, I highly recommend this play area.  The only negative is that there is no gate, so kids can wander out if you don't have your eye on them.  I hope they install one similar to the one at the play area at Memorial City Mall.  The mom's had sort of made a barrier by lining up strollers, so it is obviously something that is needed. 

There was a great car play area in the mini-parking lot areas.  Finley was disappointed that none of the car doors opened.  She tried every door countless times and got frustrated that she couldn't drive off in her new ride.
It is on the second floor, right across from Borders.  We never hit this area of the Galleria, so I was clueless about its existence.  Thank goodness our playgroup introduced us, it is a great way to break up shopping with Finley.  We stopped by Janie and Jack to return a hat that didn't fit and to scope out the sale after our playtime. 

Instead of just having to avoid the heat this summer, we have also been having to avoid the rain.  It is raining again today, but we parked in the parking garage and were able to stay dry the whole time.  I am ready for this rain to stop.
