Discover Gateway and Daddy!

This last weekend we finally took Daddy to the Discovery Gateway. We love the museum and wanted to share the fun with Daddy.
Gibby loved the gears in the lobby and it took a bit to persuade him to actually enter the museum. We hit the ball area first. Gibson was in heaven. After a good 1/2 hour we explored the kids eye view and water area. I put the kids in the little toddler area for a bit and that is where our first little accident happened. Daddy was trying to help Gibson up the slide when his face hit the slide. Crying and blood brought help which lead us to the first aid station. Wet naps and a sucker made it all better.
We headed upstairs to play for a bit more. Etta loved the buildy stacky toy while Gibson loved the fan tunnel. Etta kept building her toys forever and did a great job connecting them all together. Second accident came while I was taking a picture of Gibby and his fan tunnel. He let his paper cup go up the tunnel and then tried to catch on the way down falling off the stool. This time a kiss to make it better was all he needed and he was off again.
Daddy loved making an earthquake and being the cameraman in the newsroom. We played at pretty much every exhibit and had a great time.
We got there a couple hours before it closed and stayed until it closed. Well, some kid pulled the fire alarm 15 minutes before closing so everyone had to leave a little early. We headed over to the cookie store for a cookie. What a great little treat and the museum was fun too!

You are kidding me, two mishaps in one outing. Impressive that you do so many awesome things with your kids!
