Our really good friends are up here in Utah from Arizona, Angelica and Layla. We decided to take the kids to the Discovery Gateway on Thursday. When we arrived we noticed 2 school buses and thought "oh, great". Coincidentally, we parked right across from each other in the parking garage. Etta and Layla were so happy to see each other.
We reached the museum floor to find over 150 plus kids and parents. Yeah, we weren't even going to try to get in at this time. We headed over to Build-a-Bear to kill time. The girls just loved it. They looked over all of the animals and finally decided on two of them. Etta chose a bear with patches on it and Layla chose a cute orange kitty cat. They loved putting the hearts in their animals, but they loved giving them a bath the best. Now we were off to find them some clothes. Etta wanted a princess outfit and Layla just loved all of the clothes. In the end Etta's Bear got a pink and blue dress and Layla's kitty got cute little capri pants and an orange blouse. We ended the Build-a-Bear experience with naming the animals; Jasmine the Bear and Lou Lou the Kitty.

Gibby chillin'
After grabbing a bite to eat we headed back to the museum. We walked in and YEAH, all the kids were gone.
We made our way to all the fun areas:
Etta loved the water and music section.
Gibby rode a fun little car.
Over in the farmland we enjoyed gardening, finding eggs and riding the horse.
Gibby watching his big sister on the horse.
Gotta love the boots.
Now was the time the girls had been waiting for... Sesame Street. Upstairs was a huge Sesame Street exhibit about the body. They had fun seeing all of their fun friends, big bird, Elmo, Grover and touching, playing and exploring.

Last we headed outside to see the Helicopter and have a snack. They climbed in and out but having bigger kids around made it hard for little toddlers to enjoy the Helicopter. So we just headed over to eat a snack. We had so much fun with Angelica and Layla. Thanks for the GREAT time and hope to do it again soon either in Utah or Arizona.
See ya later!
