Vacation Week 2 - Part 3

One day in the second week of our trip we were lucky enough to get together with three of my aunts and their kids. One of my aunt's lives in Utah, another was visiting from Seattle, and the third was dropping her daughter off at BYU from here. We had a GREAT time at the Children's Museum at the Gateway Mall. Janelle and Spencer both LOVED it! We barely got to see everything there. If we lived in Salt Lake I would buy a season pass, my kids loved it so much!

First lunch at the California Pizza Kitchen


And we're off - here are a few pictures of the things we did there...
(and there's loads more to do on top of this!)

Picture 1: Janelle and Kara giving the weather report - love the floating head Kara!
Picture 2: Janelle, Jake, Audrey & Kyle giving us the afternoon news.


Picture 1: Spencer and Janelle giving a hammock a test in the "It's a Small World" room. It wasn't really "It's a Small World" but it was like that. This room had booths full of costumes, miniature houses, and props from cultures around the world.
Picture 2: The building room - Janelle giving Jake a goodbye hug.


Picture 1: The construction zone - Kyle showing the kids up with his building.
Picture 1: Audrey and Janelle in a real helicopter.


Picture 1: Another helicopter picture!
Picture 2: Spencer mesmerized by the balls.


Picture 1: Janelle playing a really BIG xylophone
Picture 2: Spencer playing at the water table, we could hardly pull him away from here!

ok that picture of janelle giving jake a good bye hug totally freaked me out. It looks like they are playing on the floor and janelle doesn't have any body below her armpits and jake doesn't have any legs. Am i the only one who saw it that way at first glance?
I thought it was kind of like the floating head picture. That looks like an awesome discovery center.

Ha ha! You're funny Jen! Now that I've looked at it twice, it DOES look like Janelle has a floating head!
