On Saturday we decided to take a break from doing "house stuff" and drive to Iowa City. It is Dallin's spring break and he really wanted to drive to Kansas to visit Grandma and Grandpa, but I am a little too far along to make that trip. We would drive through and stop at the mall in Iowa City every time we drove to Jeff's sister's house. The mall has a chick fil a and a children's museum that the kids begged us to take them to every time. We still have our museum membership through the end of the month, so we decided to go. The kids had a blast! I thought it was a really nice museum.
The kids favorite spot was the flying section. We spent over 1/2 the time in that part. They probably would have stayed all day if we let them. There was one section to make your own rocket to stomp up into the air. There was a section to make paper airplanes and practice flying them. There was a parachute section too. There was also a real airplane for the kids to get into and pretend they were flying. Dallin even dressed the part :)
Dallin and Jeff also did the flight simulators. Dallin needs lots of practice if I am ever going to get in a plane with him :)
The kids had fun getting into the hot air balloon.
There were also about 5 little airplanes. They really liked getting inside them.
There was this huge slide that they went down a ton! Alyssa would only go with Daddy, but they loved it. It did look pretty fun!
Next we headed over to the "moving" section. Dallin made it to the top of the rock climbing wall. Alyssa tried but didn't go anywhere :)
They made cars and raced them down the track. I think they both won several times.
Alyssa's favorite section was the store. She thought it was awesome!
While Alyssa kept shopping, Dallin drove the ambulance. They had a little hospital and everything.
Alyssa really liked going across this bridge, but only if she could hold daddy's hand.
The last section we went to was the lego room. They had tables full of legos, so everyone made their own designs. I think JEff and Alyssa had the best ones :)
After the museum we went to Chick Fil A!! It was so yummy. I wish we had one closer, but it's probably a good thing there isn't one close. Since this was in a mall, we had to do some shopping. And to end the day we got a milk shake from Chick Fil A and from Whitey's! YUMMY! It was a very long day for me. My feet were all swollen by the time we got back into the car. The drive home felt very long. It was a great day though!

Sounds like you had a fun day! Looks like a great kids' museum too. Glad you got to enjoy some chick-fil-a, and hopefully the swelling has gone down since then:)
