New Marbles Exhibit

Being that I've now reached the half-way point of pregnancy, my one-on-one time with Daniel is rapidly passing by. We've been playing pretty hard in the past week trying to make the most of our time. This morning we playing trains and tools before Daniel asked if we could go to Marbles. We went to Marbles on his birthday and had a lot of fun together but were sad to see that one of the upstairs exhibits was closed for renovations. This morning it was open, and we both agree that it is pretty awesome.


The theme of the exhibit is money: banking, saving, transporting, borrowing, earning, etc, which is all well over Daniel's head. However, the physical make-up of the space is tons of fun with a tall tower and swirly slide, a ball pit, an armored truck, dog walking business, pizzeria where you can make, bake, and sell a pizza, lemonade stand, and light-up cha-chinging coin stacks.


Daniel was not satisfied until his preggers mama had gone down the swirly slide with him several times.


I was not satisfied until I got a picture of my face in the million dollar bill.


Daniel applied for a loan, called in a special order of whatever toddler virus was being passed around on the cb radio, and jumped on the coin stacks.


He was so worn out after all the fun, that he didn't quite make it all the way to our next stop.

    Andrea, lets make a date.

    Emily, tell your husband he did a great job and at least one family is very satisfied!
