Ready, Set, PLAY!

After Saturday, life doesn't get any better according to Kourtney, Kaitlyn & Makell! We had such a fun Saturday with Bianca! We met Bianca in downtown SLC and decided we would just walk around and see what we could find to do. As we were walking around, we found the farmer's market and craft display at the park. They had some really neat and interesting things. It was a new adventure for the girls. Our little town's farmer's market was nothing like this one! Since it was extremely hot outside we decided we would walk over to the gateway and watch the movie 'Despicable Me' at the IMAX theatre. The girls LOVED it and it is now on the "to buy" list! Makell was in heaven with her popcorn! After the movie we walked around the corner and decided to check out the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum. We walked in and immediately knew it was going to be a challenge getting the girls to eventually leave! Whoever came up with the idea was brilliant! It was like stepping into a new world for them. They had everything imaginable for the kids to experiment with. Makell loved shopping at the market and making sandwiches at the deli. She was soooo excited that they had tuna! The girls even made dad's lunch for the following day. :) Kourtney loved pretending to be a news anchor! She relayed the story of "the woman who swallowed a fly". Kaitlyn took a turn on the green screen as a meteorologist! We just might have daughters chose to enter the television/news field in the future! ;) I think another favorite for all of us was the life sized Life Flight Helicopter. We all took turns performing different jobs and relaying info to the control tower. We had many laughs! They also had fun rock climbing, performing sound effects, water mazes, gardening, construction, and many more hands on activities! After the museum, we ate at the Red Iguana, a Mexican restaurant that had been featured on the food network series Guys Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives. Very good! It was a fun filled day! It wasn't more than five minutes after we left and Makell was fast asleep. The very next morning she asked if we would take her back to that "fun place."
