New Faces, New Places

After living in Fargo for almost 2 months, I decided I needed to find some moms to connect with and began searching online for any group I could join. I cam across one on a site called meetup.com. I joined just to see what kinds of activities they did. The first thing I went to I immediately hit it off with the moms there. We just had coffee, 4 moms with no little ones to watch. It was a great time. One of the women was from Colfax, Wi only 20 minutes away from where I grew up and the other was from the U.P. and went to school at Eau Claire. Besides kids we had a lot in common. By the end of this meeting they had convinced me to go to another, this time it was a play group with our kids.

At 9am today we headed to a new place called Corts Plus. It is a fitness center that also has a huge play area similar to what McDonalds has, but much bigger. You pay $2 and your child can play as long as you want. It was a blast. Even though Eli was a little young to play, he crawled around dodging the few bigger kids that were about to step on him. Eli has become a huge flirt so it's been funny to watch him interact with the other moms and kids. He really took to one little girl in particular and flowed her around for a little while. Overall it was a great experience and I met two more very nice moms with kids that are similar in age. We are having fun meeting new faces and learning about new places here in Fargo.
