The kids have been bugging us to take them to Discovery Gateway ever since it my sister told us about it last year and we just haven't had the time. At the end of the school year, the Elementary school gave out a coupon to get 6 people in free. One of Dallas's friends gave him his because he didn't think their family would ever use it, so we were able to get the whole family in free! :) ... funny that it took 2 to get us all in :)... but we decided that this summer we would finally make time to take them. The kids loved it! We spent several hours there. They have a room for all kinds of things. The first few pictures are from the younger kids area, so Dallas and Cailey were a little bored, but had fun helping out the little kids.

Jordan had a blast! Here he is picking out his fruits and vegetables
When you are done filling your basket, you can check yourself out at a register...
That was a highlight too!

In the Farm area they have dress ups and a life size horse that you can pretend to feed hay bales too. The kids had fun trying to get on and off the horse and trying on the play clothes.
Finally the big kids got to go upstairs. There were tons of "art" type things up there. They had fun building with these "Lego" sort of things.
Everybody got in on the action!
There was also spin art, magnets, and wind tunnel that you could make paper flying objects and see who's flew the best. The had a Newsroom that you could be a newscaster and a life size helicopter outside on a landing pad to climb through.

Howdy Pardner!

They truly had a ton of fun. We could have stayed there all day if Mom and Dad weren't so tired and we needed to get back to lay carpet in Dallas and Micailey's new bedroom's downstairs. Someday... if we ever get more coupons... :) We may have to go back!
The Finally!
