vacation, part 3

Our final museum stop was The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. This was a great way to end our trip...hands-on with something everyone could do.

The kids digging for dinosaur bones...
and watching real paleontologists at work cleaning dinosaur fossils. It was fun to watch them interact and ask questions.

Rachel has got the Momma Dinosaur act down.

The Egypt exhibit was one of my favorites. We came in through a simulated airplane ride and walked through houses, stores, and cafes that made us feel like we were really there. Josiah found another mule friend to love.

This was a favorite exhibit for Micah. He easily matched Star Wars characters to their weapons, the ones really used in the filming of the movies.

Rachel's take on Star Wars? "This is NOT for girls!!" So just the boys in this picture...

We found something that IS for girls, especially this girl. Kit's treehouse! "Mom, you have GOT to take a picture of me with this." When we got home, Rachel decided to cut her hair to match Kit's.

If you have any jobs requiring hard labor, here's your man.

It's encouraging to see they can work together sometimes and even have fun doing so!
