This summer we went to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. It was my first time there, and I spent all my time on the main floor with my younger kids (didn't get to go upstairs, where I hear there's a helicopter among other things). I think it's a great place to spend time. Kids can really stretch and exercise their imaginations at this well-thought out hands-on museum. You know . . . Discover.

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the Discovery Gateway... my kids unfortunately aren't as enthused with it anymore. Stupid kids... growing up and stuff.
ReplyDeletelove that your baby wears a scarf. she is so hip and cute! i love that museum and think it's pretty awesome.
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have never been there before. Apparently, I'm a pretty boring mom. But now that I see all your cute pictures and happy kids, I will definitely have to discover it myself!
