It was a really great weekend in the Baby Doodah household, lots of family fun was had!
Fisher Price is located about 20 miles from where we live and they have a toy store on premises. We’ve been trying to get out there for a couple weeks but it kept getting pushed back for one reason or another but we FINALLY made it out there this weekend.
You’re not allowed to take pictures in the store so the above picture is the only one we have but this is good enough!
The store itself was no more special or unique than going into a Toys ‘R’ Us or even the toy section of Target. Obviously the toys are all Fisher-Price or Mattel Brand (FP’s parent company) but it wasn’t exactly like I expected. I’ll be honest, I was hoping to walk into this wonderland of toys, kind of like when I walked into F.A.O. Schwartz in NYC. But that’s alright, we had a purpose for going, we wanted to get Emmett a jumperoo/exerc-saucer and they had the exact one we wanted!
A baby shouldn’t use the toy unless their feet touch the floor (as per their instructions), since Emmett’s didn’t quite reach, we improvised and now it’s perfect! Right now he loves it in small doses but just like with his Fisher Price Swing, I believe he’ll work his way up to LOVING everything about it for longer and longer.
Just an FYI – we did not find the prices at the actual Fisher-Price store to be any cheaper than any other department store or even online but like I said earlier, we went more for the experience.
After we wandered around the toy store for awhile we headed to Five Guys in Hamburg. They just opened up a new location there and Seamus and I wanted to give it a try. It was pretty busy but (as always) their burgers were delicious!
Sunday was a super relaxing, lay around in your jammies, kind of day. Neither Seamus nor Emmett left the house at all yesterday and I only left for about 30 minutes while I made a bagel, orange juice and coffee run. It was a very restorative day!
Here’s to everyone having a fantastic Thanksgiving week!
How was your weekend?
