A Day at the Gateway

I am so glad Brady had such a great preschool teacher. If it wasn't for her my kids would be crazy bored. Today we Went up to the Gateway in Salt Lake and went to the children's museum called Discovery Gateway. We went as a school class so they gave us 25 minutes in each area and moved us along and then we had to leave after two hours.
First they sent us to a new exhibit called Invention at play. It showed the kids how to invent things through play.

Next, we went to the studio. It is an area where you can learn about arts and science. Casey loved the wind tunnel and making things fly out the top of it. Abby made a house and then shook it with a simulated earthquake. And all the kids loved playing on the life flight helicopter.
The last place we spent a lot of time at was the Kids Eye View Area. IT was a whole town built for kids. Casey loved the construction area and it took me forever to get him to look at anything else. They had rock walls. And another favorite was the grocery store or post office stuff.

When we were done at the museum, we had taken sack lunches and the kids suits and they enjoyed time at the fountains and lunch at the Gateway. Everyone that is except Casey.
The fountains went of all the time, but, there was something special that happened every so often. It was cool every half hour we had our own Bellagio. They would play music and the fountains would go off.
