Our last day in Indiana found us at The Indianapolis Children's Museum. Our dear friends, Tom and Jan, were brave enough to join us for the fun. And, did we ever have fun! From the time we arrived until we reluctantly left (nearly 6 hours later), we had a great time. Every one of our six senses was heightened at one point or another - the boys were in heaven!
I managed to capture this sweet image (save Sam and Luke's crazy faces) just before we left. The boys were incredibly sad to leave Mr. Tom and Ms. Jan...and so was I!
The museum had an amazing exhibit on Egypt. We entered the experience via an airplane ride (the seats actually shook as you heard the rumble of the plane on the runway) and experienced life in Egypt. The boys loved it: the marketplace, the clothing stores, the restaurant, etc... This photo is of Matthew "cooking up a little yummy goodness" in the restaurant. We happily ate his pretend food and drank his "delicious" coffee.
We were greeted by an actual model of a Transformer that was used in the making of one of the movies. My sources (my children) tell me that this guys name is "Bumblebee." The boys thought it was amazing. They each took a turn being photographed behind the cardboard image... Caleb's hat and facial expression are priceless. {giggle}
My little men got very excited when we learned the museum was hosting a "Hot Wheels" exhibit while we were visiting. Heaven for four little boys! There were so many things to do: create your own car, look at life-size models of Hot Wheels, tons of cars to race down tracks at every turn, and even a care to sit in.

Twin racers. They would have stayed there all day long.

Tom and Jan, thanks so much for making time for us and making some magical memories with my boys. We love you so much! |
