Indianapolis Children's Museum

Jared had to check something for a client, in Indianapolis; being that it was Spring Break, we drove down with him for a change of pace.  We spent about 24 hours in Indiana, so it was a quick trip while he did a little work.

when in Indy, start with an Indy Car!
 We started in the Playscape.  Building


 simple machines


 wind tunnel

 Sandtable



 Music

 After a snack, we moved on to the construction area
 After lunch the doll area.  After playing with a friend's dollhouse the night before, this was a big hit!



 We didn't do anything with the clay warriors, but a bunch of other people were taking pictures, so they had to, too.

 Dinosphere

 chiluly exhibit

beautiful even in the reflection on the floor


making her own sculpture

 The artist's renderings

sitting under the art...the seat spun around, and Josh wanted me to take a movie of the slowly moving seat...luckily for you, I said I'll just take a picture


you could look to see each of these particular shapes repeated throughout the sculpture
 And finally, the railroad exhibit...
the origination of the phrase " the real McCoy"
It was a little expensive for what I would normally deem reasonable for the three of us to do $48! And we did spend more time than we normally would (10-2) at such a site, plus $28 for lunch since we couldn't pack our own...I guess you can chalk it up to "Spring Break"
