Discovery Gateway

10.25.2011
Emi & Lizzie invited Hallie to go with them on their preschool fieldtrip to Discovery Gateway in Salt Lake. So we went up and met them there one morning.
Hallie was slightly grouchy to begin the day, and wasn't too cooperative, but luckily that changed once we got there.
We started off playing with this fun ball shoot thing. It would suck the balls up then shoot them out somewhere else. Once Hallie got over the sound, and being afraid it was going to suck her up too, she liked it.Next was the water table, where Hallie could have played all day!
And the grocery store! They could have doubled the size of the grocery store part and I'm sure it still would've been packed.
Picking out some vegetables, and loading up her basket.
Cashier Lizzie was ready to help!
They also had a little farm area where you could gather eggs and climb on a horse.
Their playhouse was very realistic, and anytime we went by it was full of kids too.
Hallie was trying to see if a mouse lived in the mouse hole.
Emi & Hallie reading stories on a couch just their size.
The flowers in the boxes in front of the house were also a big hit.
In the bird house.
Hallie the squirrel
Out on their patio area they have a full size life-flight helicopter. Hallie got pretty nervous about the loud sounds it played, but it was pretty interesting to be able to climb in it and see how little room they have to work with.
Emi & Hallie also loved the news area! They could see themselves up on the screens, and thought that was pretty great.
Lizzie liked being the camera girl.
Weather girls.
This is a big magnetic wall where you can make a marble roller coaster.
Hallie did a scratch art leaf.
More dress ups on the stage.
They all hid behind the curtain making a plan for their big performance.
And last, on our way out we played on this xylophone thing.
We had a really fun time there, and we definitely need to go back! We were so glad we were invited to go.
