Discovery Zone

My friend Jessica and I took our kids to the Discovery Zone at the Gateway. We were hoping there wouldn't be any schools on field trips, but there were. It wasn't too bad though. I forgot my camera-DUH! So I had to use my cell phone to take the pictures. Ashlyn and Jonah had a great time. So did Jess and I, we laughed the whole time. I was determined to get to do the news on KSL. Those Teleprompters move quick! Our breaking news story was about an Old Lady who Swallowed a Horse. Jonah and Ashlyn sat at the news desk too. We told them to tell us the news and Jonah says, "Well, Obama is the President." It was so funny.




We also had Ashlyn and Jonah do the weather for our broadcast.

One of the highlights was the adorable play town they have set up. We spent a lot of time in that area. We went grocery shopping and to the farm, we planted flowers at the house, drove in the car and Jonah filled it with gas. Ashlyn was a police officer for short time.

Watch out for Officer Ashlyn

Ashlyn serving me cake for dinner. Yummy!


Waiting for her total...it was $2.50 according to the cashier. Oh if only!

The other highlight was the Life Flight Helicopter donated by IHC. It's cool because they have it make real helicopter sounds. Ashlyn was thrilled to "ride" in the back the whole time. The only problem we had was kids not sharing or taking turns and their air head mothers standing around and not paying attention to their little "darlings". UGH...I hate it when people think their kids are the cutest ever and we should all step aside while they run around doing whatever they please. A little bratty boy came over and nudged Ashlyn out of the way and said, "It's my turn" Ok hello little 6 year old. She's 2 and it is currently her turn. We told him to go play with the other one. Then Jessica had a little girl come up and rip a magnet board right out of her hand!

We also went to the drama area so Jonah and Ashlyn could but on a puppet show. Jessica also learned how to make a movie one picture at a time. Her movie was Eskimos facing a bear attack which later turned into a wild boar because Ashlyn took the bear.

It was a fun day and both of the kids fell asleep on the way home. I'm really enjoying these outings!!
