Ryan and Abby both tend to be on the adventurous side, particularly when they are together. They are both great at testing the boundaries. As they moved from one display to the next, Kristin and I had to keep an eye on them to make sure they weren’t doing anything crazy. A couple of times, they were.
As you can see by this picture, Ryan and Abby decided that sitting in the saddle of the horse was much too passé. They kept yelling at us to hurry and take their picture standing on the horse. We quickly obliged before any nearby parents reprimanded us for being such irresponsible mothers.
Upstairs, the two of them parted for a while to go to their individual favorite things. Ryan likes the “KSL studio” and weather station, as well as the “make your own movie” area (following in the footsteps of Uncle Marc, I guess). But they both loved the helicopter! 
After Discovery Gateway closed, we walked around the Gateway mall for a while. The fountains were going, and all of you parents know what that usually means. It was about 45 degrees (downright balmy for December in Utah!), so we let the kids run through the fountains. Once again, people walking by would look at them, and then look around for the mothers of those crazy children. Were we the ones screaming in horror? No, we were the ones holding the coats and laughing with/at our kids. 
After warming up at the fire pit, we went our separate ways. Thanks for an awesome evening! We look forward to doing it again soon.

Thank YOU for the great night! Abby is still talking about it and wondering when we can go "play in the fountain with Ryan again" - yay! :)
