A Day at the Museum

What do you do when it's cold outside (not unusual for February), the kids have been off-track for a week and a half and you're all going stir crazy? You pack everyone up and head to the Children's Museum. Thank goodness for that two-for-the-price-of-one coupon! We originally planned to stay for about three hours but there was so much to experience....


...a giant pin ball maze, a cool growth chart,

a weird machine that took your money,

a circular xylophone,

crazy blocks for building the biggest towers ever,



adjustable magnetic tubes for making amazing chutes, unusual drawing tools,

an alphabet puzzle that couldn't be beat,

a grocery store with food AND a cash register,


an indoor stream with waterfalls and fantastic water toys,


a pretend gas station, kid-sized houses with all the comforts of home,

mini cars that were perfect for delivering "mail" to all the mail boxes,

a construction zone with blocks and a crane, a real life helicopter and so much more....


...that we stayed all day! And what a great day it was!

Gramma and I spent YEARS at the children's museum together! They are some of my fondest memories of her and Salt Lake! How lucky your grandkids are to have you so close!

PS: The helicopter exhibit is new and I am so very jealous!

Was the helicopter a highlight? I would think so! Fun times!
