cRAzeE mAZe ...

well after a lazy morning, i decided to bring the kids out to play again ....

so into the car we went and i asked iggie where he would like to go ....

"wild wild wet mummy!"

opps ... not dressed or packed for wild wild wet ... so i decided to go to the DRY theme park ....

but alas ... it was packed!! for a small little place ... the rides that iggie could take were about 4 or 5 in total ... but for the ones he really wanted to go on the queues were quite horrible ...

so we played only a few of the ones with shorter queues .. and in 30mins i decided we needed a change and off we went to the CrAZee MegA MaZE ...

and for $6 an hour ... it was an exciting adrenaline filled one hour!

i had to climb in there with iggie (as there were lots of kids and most of them much bigger and older and ROUGHER than he is ...) and goodness me! in 10mins i was panting away trying to catch up! iggie is small in size and can find his way in between the other kids.. while mummy is big and have to get round other kids and small tight places .... it was a tough work out for me!!!!

and 30mins later i had to take a short break!!! i was running out of air, my legs and arms were really aching!! so i got him out for a short 2 mins break .... drank some juice ... and off we went again!!

it was actually very fun even for adults!!

you get to climb up and up and up ... and when there is no further up .. you had to look around and try to look for the hole to get across to the other side and figure your way out to the 2 slides and "wwweeeeee......!!!" ... zoom down the slide which was really fast!!! and tumble your way out and try again via another route ....

iggie had a great time!!! and though the place was jam packed with kids... we played as if we were in a world of our own .... just mummy chasing iggie ... and iggie figuring which was the way he wanted to explore!!

his eyes were bright and round ... darting around looking for the next opening to crawl into .... and he learnt how to climb up through small square openings to the next level .... and tumble out onto lower landings.... and couple of times he would land flat on his face!!! or get his small feet caught between the nets!!!

and each time i caught up with him - he would scream and laugh out loud ... and we both had to sit in a corner to catch our breath! and couple of times he would ask me to wait at one end first while he crawled over, but before he reaches the end i would in 3 crawls get to him and he would get all excited and laugh so hard he cant even move!!!

watching him and his non stop laughter makes me just smile with pride ...

my son is growing up fast .... and soon this old mummy of his wouldnt be his playmate any more .... and i wonder ... how many more years of him wanting me to play with him i still have left ... and knowing in the past each time he asked "mummy can you play with me?" and i had given him answers like "sorry dear mummy is busy .... " or "sorry mummy needs to work now" ..... or "sorry dear mummy is tired .. i rest for a while first?" ..... it makes me really sad ....

sorry iggie ... mummy really wishes she can play with you all the time .... and she will really try to play every time .... and in iggie's words ... "play the whole day ... play too much..... "
