Discovery Gateway

Saturday morning Rachel called and (apologetically) requested a ride to the airport. Scott was due to work all day so I thought maybe we could work an airport run into an activity for the kids. We ended up going to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. This place is great. The kids had a great time and with the all-day pass we were able to take a couple shopping and eating breaks there at the Gateway and then do more museum-ing. In particular they loved the construction zone with the crane and foam blocks, the giant ball track,












the make-believe town with mini cars to drive around, and a cool water play area.























Upstairs there were even more hands-on activities with puzzles, magnets, build-your-own ball tracks, legos, wind tunnels and much more. This place is highly recommended. It can be a bit pricey (watch for coupons) and gets very crowded by the end of the day on a Saturday when there's a race ending at the Gateway, but other than that, go for it.











(plus June was happy to get to show off her new birthday skirt from R&C. Wish I could find one in my size!)
