Discovery Gateway Children's Museum

Today we went with my friend Villy and her kids +2 neighbor kids (so we had a total of 6 kids and two adults!) to the Discovery Gateway children's museum in Salt Lake. We had never been before and Ella and Lily loved it! First we went to lunch at the food court which was a little crazy! Then headed off and played for hours at the museum. We had to by home by 5 to pick up Villys oldest from school, so we left the museum a little early and stopped at Häagen-Dazs for some icecream..SO good! Then another walk back to the car which was a little crazy and a drive home with 6 sleeping kids!

Lily loved the ball room


Really, ALL the kids loved the ball room! It was pretty neat. Ella spent most of her time in the ball room at this little station. You put the ball in that tube and it blows air up, so it takes the ball through some tubes and ends up across the room in a bin of balls (like the thing at the bank drive ups)

The water table was also a huge hit with the kids. Lily came away soaked!
We stopped and watched part of the water show
Yesterday I found this black widow crawling across our porch..YUCK!
Joe took it out the the middle of the street and stepped on it
