Indianapolis Children's Museum

The last stop on our trip to Indiana was at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. It's supposed to be the 4th largest children's museum in the world. There was SO MUCH to see!! They had an exhibit on the Etch-a-sketch, including the world's largest one, another exhibit on the history of Barbie, and still another on Rock-n-Roll memorabilia. They had a dinosaur exhibit, where the girls dug for dino fossils, and Jocelyn and I took in a planetarium show on the sun, moon and stars, that featured Elmo and Big Bird!


We got to walk through the caboose from the first steam engine train.



The girls wedged themselves into an Indy race car.






And played the drums at the Eygptian exhibit.






Daddy helped Jocelyn walk across an alligator (thank goodness it wasn't the real kind!)







And Shelby climbed a rock wall.


Our tour guides, the bride and groom, were pretty worn out by this time, but we did catch them in the act of hula hooping!!

On our way out, of course we stopped at the museum store, and Jocelyn grabbed up her own dino-SNORE, as she calls him! It was love at first sight and he's been a sleeping companion since then.
We had a great time on our trip to Indiana, and again, congrats to my Brother-in-law Scott and his new wife Rachel. We're looking forward to seeing them again soon!
