Discovery Gateway Children's museum.

Lesson learned. For the second time. DO NOT go to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum on a Saturday. It's a mad house. And kids are rude. And other kids' parents don't care to teach their children social skills or good manners.

That said, we had a ton of fun at this musuem last Saturday. Thanks to Staci who had free tickets! My girls spent most of the time playing with the water. Which was fine. I think it's funny when parents get bored of what their kids are doing and urge them to try other things. A cause of ADHD? Possibly? Not saying I haven't been guilty of trying to get my children to change activities, but I try and let them focus for as long as they want to on wholesome or skill-building activities. Food for thought. Here are some pictures of my darling kids. And if you haven't been to this museum with your young 'uns, I highly recommend it. Just not on a Saturday. And don't pay full price ($8.50 a pop for everyone 1+!!)





Also, a couple of inspiring stories from my amazing sisters.
Z's adoption story from his birth mother: SO PRECIOUS!!
Scotlin's angel birth story. I can't believe how brave Whitney and Evan are. They keep moving forward despite their grief!!

You know, this is the third mention I've heard of this place in a week, and before that I'd never even heard of it. Sounds pretty awesome.

Lol, I know what you mean about letting your kids spend time at one place; I was reminding myself of that very thing the other day-hey, if they're happy and don't give equal time to each thing, that's perfectly okay.

What fun pictures! We've been to the museum once...over a year ago. I'm sure Sophie would love it more now...you've inspired me to go! (just not on a Saturday...)
