the party pooper...

The tribe's school held a fundraiser at California Pizza Kitchen this past Sunday so off we went. Anything to support our FAVORITE school! =] This was being held at the California Pizza Kitchen inside the mall at Wellington Green. We LOVE this mall especially since they have a COOL play area done up like breakfast food for little ones. They even nickname the place the "Fruit Pit". There's waffles, pancakes & various other pieces of fruit for kids to trod all over. I never even thought twice about bringing them in there. Boy was that a BAD idea! Note to self: NEVER go to the "Fruit Pit" on a weekend! YIKES! You see even though there are signs clearly marked saying you have to be NO taller than I believe 42" & people seem to overlook that sign & bring their BIG kids in there to play. Now when I say BIG kids I really mean BIG kids! These children looked like they could have been in Middle School, actually like MINI ADULTS! WAY bigger than the sign posted at the front of the play area! To make matters even worse this day the Mall had had hired someone to paint faces & blow up these CRAZY shaped balloons for everyone. This gave the BIG kids even more to do because now they were chasing after each other with their balloon "art". It was pure chaos! If you think it's hard to keep up with your kids under normal circumstance try thinking about keeping up with them during all of this! It was CRAZY!!



Some of these balloons were done up as swords & they proceeded to sword fight in the middle of this play area! Yes they were acting like Pirates or something, it was rough! A few small children were even lost in the shuffle, knocked down & bruised up. I am not surprised if one of them even get a concussion from the hit they took. Sadly the BIGGER kid never even acknowledged knocking the child over. Again, just TERRIBLE! No parents of that BIG kid ever came forward to talk to their child, it was like they were not even there! I really hope they did not just drop their kids off but who knows they never intervened! People just sat back & took this all in as "play time" or better yet "entertainment". It was then & there I knew I would be writing about this "moment". I even felt compelled to post a small blurb about this "adventure" on our FB page. So if someone of importance took note & a change does occur you can just call me...
