discovery gateway

still feeling kind of overwhelmed with all my photos....but this works out because our trip to the discovery gateway childrens museum deserves a post of its own. i was obsessed with how much fun it was and how much stuff there was to do. and it didn't hurt that olivia was in heaven.

we did so many things.....

we played on big swans....

and got really annoyed when having our picture taken.

we put on a "where the wild things are" stage performance with our friends brody

and molly.

(apparently olivia was feeling plenty wild and did not need a costume.)

we went NUTS for all the buttons to push inside this real-life helicopter...

and could NOT be bothered for a photo.

there we go. cute little pilot.

(can you tell she was really busy in there?)

we did a nightly newscast...

"that was a good one, brody."

"goodnight folks. i think my co-anchor fell out of his chair." (not really)

we rode a horsie all by ourselves....

yee haw!

and went down slides headfirst...woah!!

we dressed up our baby friend in a dorky turtle costume so we could pretend we were boating in the sea...

bon voyage!

aaaand, we tried to jump ship when mom said it was time to go.

the end.

I love the photo of O on the horse with her hand up and feel like she is saying "High ho Silver...AWAAAAY!"

What a cute place! Olivia's hair is getting so long I love it! And I love her shirt and shoes! Camryn has those shoes coming in the mail for her! Can't wait! I am not sure what it is but I just love this little girl! I think it is because I see a lot of Camryn in her, looks and personality!

That looks very fun!
And Olivia's grouchy faces remind me of you and all your siblings grouchy faces at her age. :)

That was such a fun trip - the photos made me smile :) Especially the anchor ones - you're so cute and witty with all your comments on the photos. We had a blast and can't wait to play again soon!

This museum looks like so much fun! Mitch and I have secretly always wanted to go to the Discovery Gateway by ourselves, but thought that would be a little weird. Naturally we can't wait for baby boy to get here so we can have an excuse to go, lol.

ps, love Olivia's cute shirt.

That museum is so much fun. I'm headed there tomorrow with Heather & Molly. I love the captions, and how much the children dressed up!
