FAMILY DAY!

I never tire of watching Luke learn and grown, and accomplish new things, and slowly turn into this sweet little boy! He is still as active as ever, and more mischievous than before, but he makes us laugh and smile all the time... I know he gets away with much more than he probably should, simply because of how cute he is, and Jake and I 'fall' for his cuteness and cheeky smiles every time. LOL

This weekend has been a long weekend, because of the Labor Day holiday we had today. I love long weekends... more time to spend as a family. We decided to take advantage of it, and head out to Raleigh on Saturday to do something fun. We started out at Pullen Park which a friend recommended, but it turned out to be under renovation, and closed until next summer, so we decided just to have a little lunch picnic at the park before finding something else fun to do. Little did we know that while we were feasting on our Little Ceasars Cheese Pizza, the mosquito's were heading right our way... 10 minutes later I was so itchy, I thought I was going to die a slow, torturous death... I have never itched that fast from mozzie bites ever. All of use got chowed by those demonic, pesty, blood suckers, so we packed up our lunch and headed on our way VERY quickly.

We headed to the Kids Marble Museum... I posted a few pictures a while ago when I went with some friends, but Luke had his little 'accident' and ended not having much fun, and Jake wanted to go too, so we decided to take him back for another try. The boys (Jake and Luke) both had a great time. Jake was a sweaty mess after running around like an overgrown kid with Luke, and Luke was knackered, and totally ready to pass out for a nap. They play so well together.. I'm not sure which of the 2 of them had more fun!
The museum has every kind of play imaginable. Balls, Water, Music, Blocks, A slide, dress up etc etc etc... So much to do there with kids! We had a great family day out!

WATER PLAY!

BALLS... you put the balls in, roll the wheel to send them up the track, and they fill a giant pig that then empties it's 'ball belly' into a ball pit!
