A Great Deal

In January we were able to buy a family pass to The Science Zone here is Casper. The one reason we did buy it was because it gave us a free pass to get into other Museums through out the country. In Salt Lake they have 3 we were interested in and since we are down there almost every month we were hoping it would be worth it. Also it allows us into (I think) 3 in the Philadelphia area for free, and since were are hoping to make a trip out there this summer we were excited about that.
 Well just last week Joseph had an appointment in SLC and the rest of the kids were out of school so we made it a family trip. While Jeremiah and Joseph sat in his appointment I took the rest of the kids to the Natural History Museum at the Uof U. It was amazing... There was so much to see and learn. We mostly walked through it with out taking to much time to read and learn and it took us 1 1/2 hours. Plus the great thing is it cost $32 for 4 of us and because of the pass we got in for free.
 After Lunch we went to the Discovery Gateway. This was such a fun place for the kid. We spent 3 hours here and the kids were still busy and sad to leave. It would have cost us $59 for our family, but again we got in for free.
 So for one day adventures we would have spent $91. Our pass cost $65. So in one day we have already saved $26.... And we have a whole year to save more.
 Here are some pictures from Discovery Gateway (Sorry picture quality isn't that great. I took them with my phone)
Flying Balls,
Here the kids were able to put balls in tubes that had air pressure and sent the shooting about the room

Water Station,
Rose loves water so when she found this spot she was in heaven,
Only problem was when I took time to talk to one of the boys she climbed in and was soaked


Isabelle LOVES horses. She spent most of her time at the barn feeding and grooming the horse.

I forgot to get any pictures of the Twins. Micheal's favorite spot was the was the Origami station. He could have stayed there all day. Joseph and William had a lot of fun on the real helicopter that they climbed all around and pretend to fly at lightning speed.
