Discovery Center Fun

Last week the Springfield Discovery Center was offering a free admission day. Sure it's an hour drive both ways, but FREE admission?! On a typical day it would cost the girls and I $26 to go. How could we pass up free?

Here are a few things I learned during our time at the center.

1. A 6, 5 and two 3 year olds will give two moms a run for their money in a loud, open, exciting place that encourages them to touch EVERYTHING!
Can anyone say over-stimulation?
We thought this would be a little more educational than it turned out to be. We tried to make up for that with massive amounts of fun. 

2. There will be lots and lots of giggling, sillies, and fun. Especially while hanging out of an oversize nose, or trying to improv news stories. 

3. A very quiet 3 year old girl can quickly sneak off completely undetected, unlike her noisier counterparts. 

4. Discovery Centers are FUN... even when your 30.

5. Field trips are way more fun with friends.

6. At the end you will be EXHAUSTED. But so glad that you went.

Yup, I love me a good field trip. 

What was your favorite field trip? As a kid, or with your kid, anything counts!
