Life Center

There is a fun museum here called the Life Center and it is expensive to get in, but every few months they have toddler day when it is only 5 pounds for adults and the kids are free, so we went last week. I love it there and the kids have a blast. They have a lot of exhibits of different climates of the world and many other "sciencey" things but on toddler day they get out "soft play" things, bubble disco, music class, tables of legos, cars and building things, and they get out their "little giants" which are basically their really big bugs. That is Eliza's favorite part. She was touching a 6 inch centipede, trying to get a tarantula on her hand and petting the mice. It was so fun to see her really love it, and not be scared at all. It was a fun day out.
This is Fenton's favorite part, a table just his height full of cars and streets and buildings. He could spend all day right there.The really big centipede
You have to look close but that is a terantula the size of her hand, and Eliza inches from it.

i love cool places like that. Good for you to wait for "toddler day".

Eliza surprises me that she isn't freaking out about the bugs and spiders.

I am so glad that you made that EXTRA effort to have the children involved every day in something special. You are an amazing lady!!
I hope we can do some "hands on" things here in Bountiful when you get home. But don't expect tarantulas or cenepedes.
