Week of Fun-Part 1

I am way behind posting on this blog. My internship ended with a little over a week before I had to start classes again. We took this week to do some of the fun things in the area that the kids enjoy. Day 1 was Jordan Lake. When we got there, we were the only people there.

The kids played in the sand and splashed in the water for a couple of hours until it was time for lunch.

We had a nice picnic in the shade and played for a little while longer before it was time to head home for naps. Jordan Lake is such a wonderful escape from home...only 30 minutes away, but an inexpensive way to have fun outside as a family. The kids never tire of playing in the sand and the water is the perfect depth for them to splash and swim in.

On day 2, we went to Marbles Kids' Museum in Raleigh. James had been asking to go to Marbles for months, and it was a great place to spend a very hot day. Both kids had fun playing in the water. Mimi especially enjoyed pushing around the shopping cart, picking up groceries, and setting up a picnic...then putting it all back in the cart again.

The Power2Play exhibit was a favorite of both kids. They played hockey, ran through the obstacle course, and jumped in the ball pit. Since this was the travelling exhibit, it was nice to play there again before they change the area.

Before we left, James and Wesley built a car, which James had fun racing down the ramp.

Marbles is the perfect museum for kids James and Naomi's ages and a great place to spend a few hours.
