Utah: Discovery Gateway Children's Museum

 Merry Christmas to us!!  Mom and Dad gave us a "family activity" for Christmas last year (love it!).  We had heard from several friends that this museum was a must-see, so we decided to go.

Right as you enter there is a maze full of tubes pressurized so balls pop right up.  The kids could put balls in all sorts of different tubes and watch them get sucked up and travel all around the room--so cool! 

 Here Zion and Zeya are collecting balls to put into the peg board, which lights up as the balls touch each peg.

 Anjuli had a blast playing in her own mini-store--complete with shopping carts, baskets, play food, and even a checkout.

 Jasmine loved the garden center...just the right height for her, and boy does she have a good arm.  You can just imagine how each vegetable looked all over the floor ;)

Anjuli and Zion on the life-size horse.

Zion loved the pretend car.


 oh!  Time to fill up gas!


Zeya loved this huge water table.  He stayed in this center for almost 2 hours straight.

Isn't this place awesome?!

Construction Zone was also a winner.  

I love this picture.  Looks like Zion is taking a break after a hard day's work ;)

 Check out this crane! 

On the roof of the museum was a real helicopter.  The kids were completely enthralled.

What a fun day!  The kids had such a blast.  We even got to ride the"train" downtown to SLC and ended the day with their favorite--Mcdonald's  ;)  Thank you Mom and Dad!!!
