Playing at Marbles

We go to Marbles a lot, but each time is more fun because Simon is getting better at playing in the baby area and Alice is getting a lot better at playing in the other areas.  Maybe because we are going more often, she is able to stay in one area and play for awhile.

When she first arrived, she had to paint right away, which is always disappointing for us, since that is the one thing she can do at home and school.  She quickly moved on though.  She played in the water area a lot and on the pirate ship, where she mainly focused on sweeping.

Alice also played for a long time in the pet area.  That is probably because we took her to a cat show at the fairgrounds yesterday.  The cat show was as bizarre and awful as you can imagine, but it was fun because we got to see a lot of different kinds of cats.  Alice was most interested in their cages and beds though, so at Marbles she spent a lot of time gathering all the stuffed cats and shoving them into the rabbit cage.
