Gateway Discovery

If any one really does read this site, I have totally neglected my family and everything that happens in their lives. Anyway, that is because I work full time and go to school full time so I really don't know what is going on in my families lives. I just know that Tatum (tatter) has grown like a horse, McKinley is turning into a terror and the most beautiful little girl I have ever seen. So that is why I do not say much about my family.
Anyway, yesterday was Labor day and Alicen wanted to take McKinley to Gateway Discovery. That was a lot of fun for McKinley. Since is was a dismal and dark rainy day it was the place to be. Kids where everywhere! But we still had a lot of fun. They had this area called the "Bee Hive" and it was full of balls and tubes to put those balls in. McKinley got a kick out of those. At first, we thought the older kids would bully her around. By the end, we where trying to protect other kids. McKinley doesn't take crap from anyone and pushes with the best of them. She had a ball! They had a ball carrier that carried the ball to the ceiling on air pressure, and she loved that. McKinley spent most the time putting ball after ball in that opening. As long as she had balls, she was happy.
What was funny was Alicen just sat with Tatter and watched. Actually most the mothers at the discovery center watched as the fathers chased the kids everywhere. Alicen was in seventh heaven with me following McKinley around and not her. It was a good break for her as well. I just enjoyed the time with Kinni. McKinley also liked the Life flight Helicopter they had. She like the pilot's seat and she cried when I took her out. All the kids where waiting. But we had a lot of fun playing with all the things in the discovery center. It was like the old kids museum way back when. If any one remembers that.
I was just happy to spend time with my little family, rather then at school and work. These types of day do not happen as much as I would like.
