Going Bonkers!

We are all going bonkers being cooped up inside all day! It has been forever freezing here in the mid-west. Yesterday we took an hour drive to Quincy, IL to go to the famous "Going Bonkers." It is like a McDonald's play place multiplied by 100!! It is a HUGE indoor jungle gym, and the best thing is that it is cheap! Cost us $2 for Makenzie. Adults and babies are free. Even though Tyler had the day off of school, he opted to stay home and study. I forgot the camera, so it's hard to explain all that this place has to offer. It is mostly constructed of seatbelt material interweaved like a basket. They have slides, rope swings, tight ropes, jumping areas, etc. We'll be visiting this place again soon, and I'll bring the camera next time.

I must tell you a little story about the trip.... After Bonkers I went over to Kohls because I had a Christmas giftcard to use up. Makenzie would not stay in the cart for the life of me. She stayed around me while I looked for the most part, but then before I knew it she was long gone. I saw her weaving through the clothes and giggling. She lost a shoe in the process. Within seconds I could not find her. After several minutes of doing laps around the store, I gave up and told a store clerk. She announced a "Code Yellow" over the intercom with Makenzie's description. We had the whole store looking for her. Customers were telling me that they just saw her. Well, after about five minutes with no success, Makenzie practically bumped into me laughing. She was wearing a woman's brown tanktop and she was now completely shoeless. (May I also mentioned that she took her socks off at Bonkers and we never found them.) I was so frustrated with this little mischief maker. She was mad at me for taking off the tanktop, as she said she was "Snow White" and that was her dress! Luckily, we found the shoes without too much searching. I was able to find three sweaters on clearance, and I was done shopping.... (Thanks Wendy!)
