A couple of weeks ago, when we were back home picking up the kids, my mom and I took Jordyn and Cullyn to the Phelps Youth Pavilion at the Waterloo Center for the Arts while the boys were working in the garage. This was built after I was grown, so this was my first time. They had great exhibits for kids 1-7ish. Both of the kids loved it! Riding a tractor, milking a cow {my kids were not interested in this!}, building a castle, fishing, driving a school bus, mining a cave, and so much more! It was well worth the $5 entrance fee for each of us.
*I accidentally grabbed my 85mm lens thinking it was my 28-135 {they're similar in size}, which was clearly a huge mistake, so most of the photos ended up being from my phone.

*None of these places have any clue who I am or what this little blog is. I pay for our entrance/membership like any other customer and blog only my honest opinions.
