The Lion House, Discovery Center, and Clark Planetarium

On Wednesday we slept in and then went to lunch at the Lion House Pantry on Temple Square. Here are the kids playing in the water at the oval pond just outside the Salt Lake Temple:



The food was excellent! Katie and Alex chowing down:

After lunch, we stopped for pictures in front of the Salt Lake Temple:

Then we rode the train over to the Gateway Mall and visited the Discovery Center.


There was so much to do there! What a fun place for kids!





Katie loved the water play area and spent a lot of time there:






Then we headed over to the Clark Planetarium to watch a dome movie. Here's Stillman, Michelle and kids on the huge elevator:

Hanging out on the moon!


And Mars.


The dome was pretty cool. We watched a movie about the stars in the time of the pharoahs. We were all pretty tired out from going to Lagoon the day before so most of us fell asleep. After the movie (and our nap) we headed back to the discovery center and let the kids play a little longer. Then we headed back to the condo for some swimming, PF Chang, and a movie: Charlie St. Cloud. It was a pretty good movie. Stillman and Michelle and the kids headed home the next day. We're so glad they were with us for part of our vacation! We had so much fun with them!
