Safety Town

Thanks to the recommedation by a friend, I recently joined a local Meetup playgroup and love it. There are activities on the calendar several times a week in the area and you can choose which ones you would like to go to. I've met lots of nice moms and this group has such fun, unique ideas. Today we visited Safety Town at Mason Mill's Park in Huntingdon Valley. It is a beautiful park with picnic areas, a sprinkler and several playgrounds. However, what makes it unique is that a portion of it - Safety Town- is a fenced in area that is set up like a mini town with buildings, parking spots and working traffic lights. The kids can run around or ride tricycles. Ben and Barb's little guy Nicholas had a blast with the other kids. Here are some photos of this adorable little village. The best part is that all of the shops and storefronts are real places so it's like being in a miniature PA town.

Ben at the Willow Grove Fire Department. He's checking out the trucks in the garages!

Exploring the lights and the city with Nicholas:

Ah, here are the two boys in front of Abington Memorial Hospital, where they both were born! (Nate, too, but he didn't make the photo since it took enough energy to keep these two toddlers in line to get a decent shot).

This one is for Daddy...the Home Depot! This little city also had Sam's Club, local delis and shops and Prudential, among others.

I loved this place, Mom, can we come back soon?
