We went with our cousins to Discovery Gateway.  It was a lot of fun and we are glad they invited us.  The 4 oldest tie-dyed t-shirts.  They colored on them with Sharpie permanent markers and then used rubbing alcohol to make the colors run.  They had a blast.  The activity was supposed to be about 30 minuets but Emily had to drag the girls out after an hour.  We went to the Sesame Street exhibit and learned more about the body & digestive track.   I would say Gracie loved the t-shirts the most.  Jake said his favorite part was the Jeep.  It was a cute red jeep with a back seat that Jake kept filling with bails of hay from the barn.  Jake was mesmerized by the helicopter.  He was playing in the front and I told him to push some buttons and try to fly it.  He got a very concerned look on his face and said "Mom, what if it flys? It's real!"  It was so funny.  Gretchen loved that red jeep too.  She also liked the balls and the vacuums in the beehive.  It was really quite pleasant.  Some pretty funny pictures! Gracie, Lucy & Rachel in front of the magnetic wall in their tye-dyed t-shirts.  Gretchen in the wheelchair....um, it's not hers.  Jake & Rachel on the front steps of Sesame Street.
