Discovery Gateway Museum with Daddy!

Nat had all last week off so one day we took the kids to the Discovery Gateway Museum.  I took them once during the summer but Adam loved having Daddy there to really play with him while I was handling Miss Abigail.

They were directly above Abby putting balls down a tube and she loved looking up at themDSCF5119

Putting Duplos together. 
She wasn’t just banging them together, she was actually pressing them together, trying to make them stick.DSCF5150
Both Adam and Nat loved building pipes on the magnet wall and then dropping balls through themDSCF5154DSCF5153

Another favorite was this wind tunnel thing where you put a coffee filter in and it shoots it up into the air and floats back down.DSCF5147

We had so much fun together!  One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to try and keep Saturdays for fun family activities rather than having to clean, shop, and run errands all day.  That just means I have to do all that stuff on my own during the week I guess!

We love the childrens museum! We end up just buying passes so we can go whenever. Otherwise it can get kind of expensive.

Are we living in the same city? I don't think I knew that. How funny, because I also have a 3 year old boy, a baby girl, and am exploring homeschooling. Playdate? :)

Ps. apologies if I knew we were in the same city and forgot (which would be embarrassing). I feel like I'm operating at half capacity some days since #2 arrived!
