Losing our Marbles

WARNING: This is a long long post, but mainly pictures so enjoy the cuteness that is Zeke, oh and please excuse the poor pictures, he moved constantly through the whole place!

Nah, we didn't really lose them, but we did have a blast at Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh. Friday we had planned to go to the zoo, but with scattered showers we opted out of driving a zillion miles away and getting rained on. I decided we should should still do something fun and was choosing between Marbles and the Museum of Life and Science. I have been to the Life and Science Museum, but not to Marbles so I decided we should check that out. Marbles used to be a place called PlaySpace. I nannied for some kids in college and we hung out there once a week, it was adorable then but my it's so much cooler now that it teamed up with Exploris! We only spent an hour there (due to last minute decision to go/Ben's schedule/Zeke's schedule/stupid downtown Raleigh construction), but check out the action packed fun we had:


Walking into the museum (Z was a little overwhelmed)


not interested in posing for a pic

Sliding into the play area

The mail truck that Zeke called a school bus.
He kept coming back to this saying "bus. bus", we stopped correcting him


Picking veggies

Hoping he can be some help to his dad this summer

Putting the veggies into the wheelbarrel

Pointing out each fish and telling us what color they were

Bouncing on these things in the fish room
(it looked like a middle school dance with the disco ball in here)

L.O.V.E.D. the orange fish (doesn't know who Nemo is yet, though)

About to make daddy walk the plank

He kept trying to hit the flowers (sorry Amber!)

Realized playing in the dirt was more fun than flowers

Such a boy!

LOVING the dirt!

SPLASH!

BIG splash!

Turtle=BIG SPLASH

Give me that turtle!
We are really excited about going back!! I know Zeke will have even more fun when he returns. We only went to 2 of the 5 exhibits, and seriously could have just hung out on the dang mail truck/school bus. I am hoping to get a membership for Zeke's birthday... hint, hint, grandparents ;)
