WARNING: EXCESSIVE PHOTO POST!
So last week Debbie & I got a hankering for a fun activity to do with the munchkins. So we loaded in her van & headed up to Salem to visit the A.C. Gilbert Discovery Village. I had never been there and was really impressed. It is learning-based, hands on fun!

The first stop was the munchkin-sized grocery store for some shopping & shopkeeping.
Colin sending groceries down the hand crank conveyor belt.
Next was the water science room.
Inspecting a specimen.
Learning about newts & suckerfish.
On to the Asia discovery room where we painted slate tiles with water.
Colin, Janessa, & Kaden in the giant rocking chair.
Very cute Kaden sized rocking chair.
There was a dino discovery exhibit.
The bubble room was the biggest hit. You could stand on the platform below & pull a bubble up all around you.
Bubble mess was everywhere.
Kaden bit the dust twice slipping on bubbles on the astroturf floor!
Their Magesties, our own King Arthur & Princess Guinevere.
Debbie & the kiddos learning about water pumps.
Kaden wants to drive so much...
this truck was perfect for him.
Playing on the marimbas.
A giant checkers game, the kids had fun rearranging & knocking down all the cones.
It was a great way to spend a friday afternoon. The kids were practically asleep by the time we pulled out of the parking lot! Lots of fun had by all!
