playin' a little hookey

Our Joyschool group planned a fieldtrip to

Discovery Gateway

today, and because we got such a great discount with our

group I let Ame and Kaipo play hookey from

school and come along with us!

We have never been there,

and we were all thoroughly impressed!

There was soo many fun, creative

things to do. It was well worth the

drive downtown, and missing a little school.

These balls provide some great fun

through tunnels, shoots and all sorts of mazes.

It was hard to get a clear picture out of

these excited, energetic, active kids.

there was this life size horse
that I found Ame riding SEVERAL times!
She definitely has a LOVE for horses.
I hope one day she can take some riding lessons.

thank goodness the horse was well fed by Kaipo.

I caught them for a second, and forced a picture.

these pipes were really cool too.

they could be arranged and rearranged, forming

tunnels and paths for more ball fun.

outside there was a REAL helicopter for the

kids to sit in and pretend to fly, although we did

NOT spend much time there because it was just sooo

darn cold outdoors!

We had a grand time, but the fun had to come to an end

so I could get Ame back to school in the afternoon.
Definitely a place we would love to visit again!
