Children's Museum

We went on a field trip with the MBA Spouse Association to the Discovery Gateway Children's Museum in SLC today. Other than Jackson not getting a nap at all today, he had a great time. I think if he were are year or two older he could have gotten into it a lot more, but he still had fun.
One of his favorite parts was the water area. He loved putting the balls into the tubes and splashing around.

He had fun with the mini kitchen in the baby/toddler area where he didn't get run over quite as much.

Driving with his friend Justin. Oh, the orange vests were to identify all the MBASA kids...they do that for day care and school field trips so the leaders can identify their kids easily...we were all moms with our kids, but they got to wear them anyway. A lot of the kids took them off, but Jackson must not have noticed he was wearing his.

He also really loved the ball area. There were tubes and pipes going all over the place; you could put balls down the holes or into vaccuum tubes that would suck them up into tubes above your head.

He really doesn't look too excited in any of these pictures because he was so tired. Whenever I'd pick him up to move on to the next area, he'd lay his head down on my shoulder. He did great though, and had lots of fun "discovering" at the museum. It was fun for me to watch him try to figure things out and learn how things work. It also reminded me of going to a children's museum when we'd visit my grandparents in Ontario, though I think this museum was a lot smaller.
It was fun! Hopefully we'll get to go back some time when Jackson's not so sleepy!
