Mother’s day - things to do with ~1.5 yr old
Absolutely freaking out and would appreciate if this group can help with ideas on things to do. I want to find an activity that my wife and 15 month old can do together. My plan so far: - Got them custom made t-shirts, getting a cake at home - Heading out for Brunch…

"We had my son's second birthday party at the carousel. We had excellent service right from the start - the booking staff, attendants, and the cleaning crew. The ride and space were great for little ones and families. My son and his friends had so much fun. Tables and chairs were perfect for setting up food, decor, and they played our music playlist too.This was during thanksgiving weekend, so it was still warm and there were gas heaters around for added comfort. Thank you Remington team!"
