Get Out!

So far during my parents' visit, we haven't been able to get out and do too much. So today we rectified that. We went to Discovery Gateway. If you have never been there - GO! It is awesome. Finn LOVED it. I didn't even know about it until Uncle Pablo told me about it when we went to the zoo last time.

So first, us girls took the boys to the train station. Finn & Papa (Guapa - like el Guapo... it's what Finn calls Papa) rode the Front Runner from Roy to Salt Lake and then we picked them up from the station and drove to the Gateway from there.


They had a great train ride, then we moved on to the Gateway. Here are a ton of pictures of what we did:

Finn & Guapa playing with the wind tunnels


Burgundy LOVED the see-saw


She also enjoyed the flower box


Finn & I in the "Heliocker"


Filling up the Jeep with gas


Shopping in the store


Time to check out!


My fearless daughter - she loved this







They had a little stage with costumes



The awesome thing about this place was that it was fun for everyone. I figured it would be for Finn, and Burgundy would just be along for the ride - but there was stuff there that she really enjoyed as well.


Afterwards, we went to eat at Applebee's. Here's Finn with ice cream on his face. Then we went shopping for a while before we all drove home (darn American Eagle - went in to get a pair of pants for Cody - 100 bucks later...). The Gateway is a place that in a few years, Burgundy and I will go to get away from the boys and shop till we drop.

So all in all, a very fun day. Lots of exciting and fun things. I am tired!

We haven't gone back to the gateway discovery thing for a year or two It was SOO EXPENSIVE. I like the tree house you only pay for the kiddos. I think I am spoiled by kids museums the one in Boston is AWESOME and I expect too much. Glad you had fun. It is also nice to see you in some of the pics instead of behind the camera. :>
