Discovery Center of Idaho

On Saturday, we drove into Boise and went to the DISCOVERY CENTER OF IDAHO. If you've never heard of it, the best way I can decribe it is a hands-on museum full of science experiments. You can touch everything, so it's a great place to take kids. We spent a few hours there and I'm sure we didn't see everything there is to see.

One of the kids favorite things was this chair that you pull the rope and it hoists you up. Then when you let go, you come back down.






Here is Cory laying on a bed of nails!



They have a little kids Grocery Store where they can pick up a shopping list, get a mini shopping cart, and then go around and put pretend food in their carts. They even have a self check out that actually beeps when a barcode is scanned!





Isaac even got into the action. This beach ball was being kept up by air being blown underneath it. I love this picture because even his shadow is smiling!





Kaleb blowing HUGE bubbles!!



Chad doing what Chad does best - being silly! Oh and he's also making his chair turn by holding onto that spinning wheel.



It was a lot of fun!

Julie...we went there with our family last year and had a blast. What a fun place that is hidden away and only Boise natives can tell you about it. I'm glad you got to go!
