Our first adventure to the Indianapolis Children's Museum

Last year at the ARC conference (http://www.arcind.org/), I bid on a set of Children's Museum tickets. With eveything that has gone on this year, we had forgotten about them until recently. Which is a good thing, they were going to expire at the end of this month. So we decided to go there this past Saturday....we should have know it was going to be one of those days! Even before we left the house Rachel was being more than her usual WILD. (We even forgot the camera, so the pictures enclosed here are not the greatest, but Kevin's phone did a pretty good job!) Overall it is a nice place to visit. The musuem has 4 different floors of exhibits. We started at the top and worked our way down....

As I keep mentioning, it is a Children's museum, so it is meant for little ones to get out of their strollers and interact with the different exhibits. So of course Rachel gets out and does well with these exhibits....

But this is where we start to loose her (literally some moments)....

Kevin and I both we chasing her every which way....but again it suppose to be interactive, so we were letting her go a little wilder than normal...but finally put it to an end when she let go of Kevin's hand and bolted in the opposite direction.

This is the last of picture time....

It was a good thing that at this point most things could be just looked at rather than touched all the time....She really loved the dinosphere and so before we left we hit the gift shop and found a great dinosaur floor puzzle by Melissa & Doug and Aidan got a little T-Rex finger puppet.

I think we decided that the Museum was a great place to visit once a year, but that investing in a membership would not be well advised for us until Rachel and Aidan are both a little older. Wish us luck next year when we take them again!!!
