Discovery Gateway

Henry and I (Meg) spent President's Day at the Discovery Gateway with Kevin's sister Kerri and our four-year old niece Maisie. We have been wanting to play there for some time and while we didn't anticipate a standing room only crowd, we did have a good day. The museum offers so much hands-on fun for little guys, that we will certainly be back, but definitely on a less crowded day. Luckily we had a 1:1 kid to adult ratio or this post may have been more of a rant :)

Here are some of our favorite things...

Henry and Maisie driving the Jeep, they could even gas it up and check the air pressure of the tires. Let's introduce kids to the reality of vehicle maintenance early!!

Henry and Maisie hanging out in a real IHC Life flight helicopter. Henry is giving the thumbs up, but Maisie is not so sure about this. I think she though the helicopter might take off at any given moment.
Henry playing with the magnetic marbles. This was pretty cool, there was a magnetic wand that you could move under the table to make the marbles move like magic. A definite hit!

Kerri and Maisie at the climbing wall. Uncle Kevin would be proud.

That looks like so much fun! I will have to remember that place and go visit sometime, soon. I can't believe how big the kids are. So cute!

Wow! Look at that boy! I want to squeeze him! Sounds like a fun trip, with the exception of the other humans (can't they discover some other time?). We'll have to check it out one day.

OK, Kevin is fantastic! I was rolling while reading his prayer post, and the fish post is so, so good! And Meg, you're not bad yourself! This is a great blog! It will be fun to watch what comes next!
