Marbles Galore!

Lily and I got to visit Marbles twice over Christmas vacation. We went once, just the two of us, to check out a IMAX movie (Into the Arctic, wonderful) and to spend an afternoon at Marbles. We actually hadn't been in a few months, so it was a lot of fun to see how Lily had changed and how she interacted with the exhibits now.

The second time we went, we met my friend Sarah Beth and her son Jaxon and one of his preschool buddies and his mom to spend the morning of New Year's Eve. Marbles does a great New Year's Eve celebration and they had a ton of people there to celebrate. At noon, they "dropped the ball" and had their own version of fireworks to ring in the new year - bubble wrap! They threw down layers and layers of bubble wrap and the kids downstairs jumped all over it, while the people upstairs (including me and Lily) tossed down confetti to the people waiting below. It was a lot of fun - maybe we'll head back next year for it again!
