Discovery Museum

On Fridays we have been going to some museums around here and the kids have been loving it (though they have gotten sick so I think I might be done with them for a little while). The first one we went to is always fun! It's perfect for the kids ages right now. The first building we went to had a big boat where they could play driving, working, and fishing, see fish and play with trains.

Mckinley liked the underwater part and I had to kneel with her multiple times to get through it because I think she was scared to go in on her own, but she didn't show it, just didn't move if I wasn't there.
Harrison and Ollie are driving the boat.
playing with trains...it was really fun to see them play side by side together on the train set

Another building you learned all about water. One of then you built a boat and turned on the air so see how fast they would sail...Harrison and Mckinley both loved playing in the water and of course it got Harrison jumping (and both wet). These are Harrison two boats he built.

Working hard out in the "construction zone"

Playing at the ship wreck
And yet another boat outside. It is right off the bay so I think boats are a big part...and it seemed like we went to all of those buildings too.
You really get the best view of Golden Gate Bridge from the parking lot...it is beautiful!

That looks so fun! I wish they had something like that here. I don't think the one in salt lake is nearly that cool. The view in the parking lot is beautiful! I hope everything is going well- are you going to be in utah for the holidays? If so let me know, I would love to see you!

What an awesome museum. Sid was just out in SF for work. Hopefully we can come with him on one of his trips out there next year and you can take us to the museum!

It was so fun going there with you! Glad you are taking some time to visit museums. I need to get better about that here.

I love discovery museums! This one looks like tons of fun. And what a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge! (I just took my kids to the Science Museum last week, and the best view of the Charles River was from the parking lot, too, so we snapped some pictures there, too!)
