Last Monday: Indy children's museum

On Monday we went to the children's museum.  We went a year ago and made it through most of the museum in the allotted time, so I was a bit worried we'd run out of things to do, but there were also a few areas that we didn't go to last time because it was too hot or they were closed.

We started in the outside area.  We didn't go last time because it was too hot; it was almost too hot again this time.  We did some of the things, but the favorite was the tree house.  Isaac also liked mini-golfing with Ben.

We did the water clock again, and it was just as interesting this time as it was the first time.

We spent a really long time in the dinosaur area.  We talked to the paleontologists for a bit and learned about dinosaur eggs.  (The biggest was about the size of a football, because otherwise the eggs got to fragile.  And you couldn't make the shell thicker because then the baby couldn't get out.)  We also walked by a program as it was starting so we did that.  I wasn't too sure of the program, as it just sent you to an exhibit and asked you to find information, but it actually worked really well.  Since there were specific things we were looking for we paid more attention to our dinosaur and learned about it well.  Joshua also got a scuba tank; Isaac decided to hold his breath.

We found Giraffe!  I'm not sure how Isaac's lovey got into the museum, but luckily he also got home before us.

We did a few exhibits twice, including the ball machine, space, and glass.

We had two very tired kiddos.  Isaac fell asleep in the last five minutes and was out until Ben bonked his head on the door while trying to get him out of the car.  He's just too tall.

Tuesday we took a few pictures before leaving.  (I like the adults in the mirror.)
