Petland and 2Toots

Okay, I am finally going to get around to updating about our fun spring break! On Monday I took the kids to Petland in Wheaton to see the animals. This is a nice little outing that is free. Every time we have gone, the people working there have been great. They like helping the kids with the animals. The cool thing about this place is that just about all of the animals are in open top things that are close to the floor so the kids can get to them. Even the birds are out in the open! Here is a picture of E with a bird on his arm.








New this time were the hermit crabs. E really enjoyed playing with them and telling everyone around about them. Here is a picture of him holding one.









Another thing that was new this time was the puppies. They had puppies before but now they have only rescued puppies. I really liked that! Also, if you have kids who like puppies, they will let you play with them or you could do what I did and just have them bring one out for the kids to pet for a minute.

Later that day, we went to 2Toots for lunch. It was my first time there but an old favorite of the kids. It is a cute little train theamed resturant. They have a train that goes around in a big circle that brings you your food. No matter where you sit, you will get your basket of food from the train. I wish I had taken pictures while we were there but it was a bit chaotic that day since it was spring break. We were not the only ones taking advantage of no school. Anyway, it is a fun place to eat. We went to the one in Glen Ellyn but there is also one in Downers Grove. You can check out the website for their address and menu at www.2toots.com
