Last week we went to the Discovery Gateway with my sisters. It's a children's museum, and my children gave it their seal of approval.
Below is Allison at her favorite spot in the whole place -- the water feature. It was creatively designed, with pipes and mini waterfalls and bowls and tubs. She would have stayed there all day.
Below, Olivia is in the doghouse.
Next, you'll see Olivia in her favorite area of the museum -- the play house. There was also a little grocery store.
Allison loved spinning the gears on the giant magnet board.
There were towers to build, magnets to move and paper cups to fly. There was a little earthquake simulator to knock down your creations.
Below are the cousins: Olivia, Allison and Kade.
Laura needed a shot with her little one.
Below is Jackie the news anchor. The museum had computers for older kids to create their own news show, complete with a green screen for the weather.
There was a little stage for the kids to put on a play. Olivia found a unicorn pullover, and Allison is in some sort of Shrek get-up.
Our last adventure was to climb inside a real helicopter on display at the museum. It's an old Life Flight copter.

We have been meaning to go do and check out the place... Thanks for the post I will now make a real effort to get down.
We love Discovery Gateway! Claire has loved the water feature since she could walk. While you guys were there, we ran into Joe at the library. We need to get together soon.
For another great museum experience, try the Museum of Natural History in SLC. Its free the first Monday of every month.
To make your pictures bigger, you just have to upload them to Photobucket or Flickr. Then on Blogger you edit in HTML and copy and paste the HTML code over from Photobucket. Make sense? Let me know if you have questions.
