Pittsburgh Children's Museum

After a week of togetherness I think everyone was pretty worn out and since most everyone had driven in, they decided to leave out a day early. Tragically our plane flight wasn't so flexible so we had almost an entire day to kill. Thankfully, our season passes to the Salt Lake Children's Museum come with reciprocity to other kid's museums so we got in free to the Pittsburgh one. We let the kids run around and play for 5 hours and then fed them and stuck them on 2 planes back to Salt Lake. Ethan watched movies the whole time without a single complaint and Isaac slept THE ENTIRE TIME!!! We're definitely doing this in the future. Poor thing was so mad at us for continually waking him up in the car on the ride to the airport, but it was worth it. 4 hours of flying without having to entertain him or keep him quiet!
Every children's museum should replicate this one. They had a floor with slats that collected all the water and then tubes with various amounts of water spraying out of them. Then there were buckets full of different pipes and connectors and sprayers. Taylor spent more than an hour here and the kids loved it too.
Seriously, Taylor isn't game very often for taking the kids to the zoo or the park, but ask him to take them to a children's museum and he's all over it. He's just a big kid himself!
And he went crazy for this slanted room.
He made me climb up and take about a million pictures until I got it right.
We could have stayed for another day entirely and never gotten bored. We loved it!

We will have to take our kids there since It isn't that far from us. It looks like fun.
