This morning we went to the Moon Marble Company in Bonner Springs, Kansas. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought that it was a marble factory. Silly me. It is however a pretty awesome toy store .
We went with our neighbor and her three boys. During the demonstration, we watched a marble being made by hand, similar to the one above, and learned that most of the marbles that they sell are bought in bulk from a factory in Virginia, I think. The boys enjoyed perusing the shelves of the store which were filled with vintage toys and of course, marbles.
After a quick lunch at the Legends, we let the boys play in the fountain and got some ice cream.
At the beginning of summer, we had very lofty plans of weekly excursions. The summer seems to be slipping by us very quickly. We will see what next week brings.
