IKEA Trip


Hello from IKEA, everyone!
Today we went to IKEA in Elizabeth to meet up with our friends Mina and Maya. They've recently moved to NJ from IL (Mina and I were in the Pre-Natal Aquatics Class there).
Maya is about a month younger than Trenton, but they sure look about the same height and weight. Trenton liked to pat her hair and blow raspberries with her.
IKEA is VERY kid friendly. There were places for the kids to play in both the showroom and the cafeteria. Here, T & M eat lunch while we watch the planes fly into Newark Airport (across the Turnpike). There were also lots of seagulls flying around near the window.
After IKEA, we took them to Toys R Us... very disappointing store! We thought there would be stuff for the kids to do there and play with. But it was just a really big Toys R Us, with lots of Babies R Us stuff there, too. But Trenton scored with a birthday gift and Maya found some new shoes. We had a great day with them, and hope to get together again soon!

What nice pictures they are!!!
Thanks for sharing them.

Maya and I had very good time as well and can't wait the next time!

Yeah, Toys R us wasn't too excited at all so we need to plan somewhere else next time!

Hi Mina and Maya!!! Maya is getting to be so big! It's been so long since Libby and I saw you two! Time sure does fly, huh?

So great that you are close enough to visit!!! Trenton and Maya look so cute. I'm sure they will enjoy having each other for playtimes!
