St. G '15 Part 4: Children's Museum

After running around outside we decided to cool off with an indoor activity. We caravanned to the Children's Discovery Museum where all the kids, young and old, had a great time.
The plaza outside was beautiful.
This place was awesome! There was role playing areas and hands on discovery play areas. All the kids had a great time trying out all the different toys in all the different areas. First up, farm and country...
