Children's Museum


Today was our latest big trip to Indy to go to the Children's Museum. This place is awesome, and huge. It just isn't possible to do the whole thing in one day with small children.

As an adult, I really liked the new Dale Chihuly sculpture that extends from the ground level all the way up to the 4th level ceiling. If you've never seen anything Chihuly you should check out a video from your library. I tried to take some pictures of it but it's just too large to get the whole thing. So here's a photo of what I could get plus part of the exhibit directly underneath. There's also a glass "garden" exhibit which was mostly enjoyable by the adults. Spencer loved building his own sculpture with plastic pieces and Evie took a rest with Alan on the rotating observation couch.

The kids were mostly impressed with the Bob the Builder and Sesame Street exhibits. At Bob the Builder they spent their time at a water pump that used blue balls instead of water. It was just plain fun. On Sesame Street they liked the phone that played different voice mail messages from the characters, Big Bird's nest where they read books, and the stoop where we took a picture.
