Pure Joy! Eli loves the dinosaur exhibit!We pretended that today was a weekend (Sam had to take a furlough day) and we went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum! We had such a great day. I can't get over how big my boys are and how these trips are a pure treat now! No stroller, no diapers (Nate was dry the whole day), no temper tantrums (minor miracle). They both loved the dino exhibit. They got to see all of the fossils and excavate for fossils in the dino dig. They also got to watch two real life paleontologists work on the skeleton of a triceratops. They were fascinated by the tiny drills and tools. We ran in to one of Eli's best school friends and his family. Eli claims that he was too busy excavating to talk to Leo, but he did say hi. I think Leo felt the same way. BOYS! Other hits were the Bob the Builder exhibit, the Egypt exhibit, and of course the water table and playscape. This hands-on museum is amazing. The boys finished their day with a scoop of rainbow sherbert and an hour long nap ride in the car on the way home! Life is, indeed, very very good.

What a fun adventure! Love the pictures and I think I would have loved the dinosaur exhibit, too. What a great way to spend a furlough day.
Love and hugs,
