Fun Day at Marbles

Yesterday (Friday) we took Hailey to Marbles Kids Museum here in Raleigh. I've been wanting to take her for a while but wanted to wait until Ryan could go with us so yesterday was finally the day. Hailey had a blast! She LOVED that everything was her size and that there wasn't anything that she couldn't touch or climb on.We will definitely go back because we didn't even get to see and play with it all! Here are a few pictures from the fun!

The first room we visited had all kinds of jobs and work places to explore: a vet's office, grocery store, kitchen, ambulance, farm, etc. Hailey's favorite part was hands down the vet's office with the animals. She took all of the animals out of their cages and lined them up on the table. Then she wanted to brush them and just carried them around.

There was a little lawn maintenance area too. Is it any surprise she practiced pushing the lawn mower?

Then we visited the grocery store. She loved pulling things off the shelves and putting them in her cart.

We also visited a room that was about exercise. They had a basketball area, weight lifting area, hockey area and one about healthy eating. She liked the dancing part the best. We tried to put a tutu on her but she hated it. She dances all the time at home. Dance classes might be in her future although she doesn't get that from me or her daddy. :)

 We went into a room that was all about earning and saving money and had different areas where the kids could practice "working" to make money like a pizza parlor, pet sitting, bank and so on. Can you guess which area was her favorite?!

They had green balls everywhere to symbolize money and Hailey loved collecting them.

 

The last room we visited before we left was a nature room just for toddlers. Hailey liked touching all of the tactile stuff on the walls and opening and closing every door she could find.

That certainly isn't all of the pictures I took while we were there, but I'll spare you! ;)

After we left we had to run to the mall to pick up Ryan's jeans. Hailey decided to continue the game of peek-a-boo while Ryan was in the dressing room. Silly girl! And yes she did actually crawl under the door, several times.

I love family days!
