Winter has arrived and with the cold weather apon us I'm looking high and low for places to warm up and entertain a 2 year old. One of the favorites for sure is Blinkenstaff's toy store at the Riverwoods. It's what I imagine FAO Swartz must be like in NYC. All sorts of toys that the kids can try out and play with before you buy. None of those Toys R Us tantrums taking place when I won't rip open the saran wrap vaccum packed toys. Here they are all strewn about for the picking. And best thing is the FREE horse ride. Save your quarters people and have a yeehawin time. The worst part is that I have often found Dev licking the life size candy Christmas tree. Yuck. But well worth the hours of self entertainment it provides. Now all they need is some comfy couches lining the walls for me to relax on. Don't you worry Blinkenstaff's, we aren't total toy playing moochers, we actually leave with a purchase every time thanks to Devro's amazing fit throw downs. And like I can say no to a glass bottle of soda and imported candy bars anyhow. Yes Blinkenstaff's, we'll be seeing you weekly.
