Where have I been...this place is AMAZING!

I'm not going to bore you with a wordy post. No need, the ridiculous amount of pictures will say it all.
Harper and I have officially hit the Raleigh museum circuit. A couple weeks ago we went to the Life and Science Museum with our friends Whitely, Steve and Tully. It's nice for a couple reasons...1.) It's free...2.) It's entertaining. We had a great time with everyone and I'm sure will be making a repeat visit. Last week we decided to keep the ball rolling with a trip to the Marbles Children's Museum. We have been waiting to go to Marbles for when Harper was walking and when Adam had a day off. Well Harper has been walking for 5 months, Adam's free day, well that took a little longer. Anyway, we made it and it was incredible!! We would have been there for a week had we not taken the reins and physically moved Harper along to each station. By the time we left...2 1/2 hours later, we purchased the year's pass. Needless to say, we will be frequenting this little slice of heaven.

I took 270 pictures while we were there. I have narrowed them down as best I could. Just make sure you have food near you and have visited the rest room recently and you should be good. Enjoy

Marble's Children's Museum



We played games.


Drove a boat.


Rode in cars with boys.
Adam and I got pretty lax with Harper while she was there. We let her just ride off with some random firefighter.


Did a little slipping and sliding.
She LOVED the slide. She would scoot herself up to the edge and slide down by herself. Dad had a little trouble letting her go completely on her own.



Watched the fish.


We wrote letters.


Built something with sticks.


Played with a train set.



Painted a masterpiece.



Played in water.


Still played in water.



We had a hard time pulling her away from the water station. She was SOAKED by the time we left.



Drove a submarine.



Navigated the high seas...with dad.



Watered the garden.



Drank out of a cup by ourselves.



Drove a bus.



Built a house...with dad.




Met some surprisingly beautiful people.



We reached out and touched the world...



...then we rocked it.



did a little balancing act, in our tutu.



Scored a goooooooooal!!!



Climbed...with dad.



Tried to drive the Wachovia $ truck home.



Played in the ball pit.



And spotted gummy bears.



It was a very full day. She was literally asleep before we got out of the parking garage.
