We took off on a road trip today and met up with Cousin Samantha and crew at the Indianapolis Children's Museum. This is a really great museum for children due to the number of hands on exhibits. Before you go, check their website for coupons. You can save a few dollars on admission.
The kids are allowed to put on lizard skins (with tail) and "sit" on the eggs. Cassandra had other ideas but I'm not exactly sure what they were.
Samantha helped Cassandra dig for more fossils. They had rubber-like beads glued together and the kids were supposed to scrape them off to reveal the fossils underneath.
They did allow you to get inside some of the dioramas via tunnels which were of course very popular with the little kids. Judging by Mommy's smile, it was popular with big kids too.
And here is Cassandra in an action shot. She just doesn't like the way the clay sticks to her hands. She doesn't like the way chalk feels either and likes washing her hands. Don't ask which side of the family that comes from. There are two possibilities and it can't be proven either way.
Cassandra wants to drive. On the right is a picture from her 18 month photo-shoot. Notice the caption?
There were a couple of cars that caught Daddy's eye in the Hot Wheels® exhibit. The first might be fun to drive but would have some horrible blind spots.
The second was this diamond covered car that was made for the Hot Wheels® 40th anniversary celebration. It has nearly 3,000 blue diamonds, taillights made of red rubies, and an 18-karat gold body. It would be a very pricey car to replicate in full size.
The last exhibit we looked at was this clock. Seriously, this is a clock. Very elaborate, no idea how accurate, but I could stand having something like this in my home.
Oh, outside the building has a brontosaurus that has stuck its head inside the building. Cassandra was really impressed by the dinosaur.
