Well, we decided to take little man to a fun place to play today, and it came down to driving to Champaign for Ants in the Pants or Springfield for Jungle O' Fun. We decided on the hour trek to Springfield and got online to find the address of Jungle O' Fun. We arrived, and I imagine we got the same feeling that Chevy Chase got in the movie "Vacation" when he and the family pulled into Wally World and it was closed. We didn't park way out at the edge of the parking lot to "avoid the crowd," but did go to the door to make sure it had not moved someplace else. Ethan had thankfully fallen asleep just minutes before (after an hour of "I WANNA PLAY!!"), so we thought we were safe. We had a $20 gift card to Toys R' Us, so we figured we might make it up to Ethan by taking him there. He woke up as we pulled into the parking lot and immediately said "I wanna play!" We went inside, and as soon as we walked in, they announced over the PA that the computers were down, therefore no gift cards, credit cards or debit cards could be used. I am not kidding. Since I usually carry about $3.27 in cash, this was not good. Fortunately, we ended up staying so long that they got things working again, and we made a couple of birthday purchases for little man. In other news, Ethan spent the evening a couple of nights ago on his first lightning bug hunt. He really enjoyed it and cracked up everytime one took off from his hand.
