having fun and feeling better

We headed to Indy today to see the Children's museum.  Bug was still not feeling too well this morning, he actually asked to stay home (more to watch TV I think).  But a nap in the car on the way to Hermano's  house.  Bug and Hermano had a great time chatting on the trip to Indy and Hermano's mom and I enjoyed the time in the car to talk too.

The plan for the day was the planetarium, the trains, the dinos and the race car.  I made the mistake of looking at the website and saw that the museum had an exhibit on the Terra cotta warriors from China and I wanted to do that.  We ran out of time.

At the train exhibit, Bug was not into smiling yet.

But after the planetarium, he and hermano were ready to play and smile.

 We saw, this awesome glass sculpture - LOVE IT!!!!!

 at the bottom of the museum, you could sit on a slowly spinning seat (Bug on it) and look up thru the sculpture which goes up 4 more floors to the top of the museum.

 We found the dinos, though the boys liked the toys best.

They did some digging for "fossils"

They got to hold a real dino bone!!

They played with the dino nests.

 And they tried to hatch eggs

There was some dino dressing up- love the tail.

some climbing around

SPIDERMAN was seen

This is the closest I got to the Terra Cotta Warriors.  There is always next time for this exhibit.

Bug liked the horse

This the upper part of the sculpture

 The race car - a huge hit for Bug

 And Momma!!!!

 We took the boys to the play area and they had a blast.  This hand cranked train would have kept Bug busy all day.

But then he found some more things, pipes to crawl through, bobcat skid loaders to play with, etc.

And of course, we had to take a carousel ride.

My happy boy and me

Teddy and Corduroy- the boys' bears, taking a ride too

The picture of the day- Bug took a little nap on the carousel.  too cute.

The transformer, Bumblebee, in the main entrance area. 

The boys and the dinos outside.

 I let Bug get a gift at the museum, he choose a Bumblebee mask- perfect with the statue

And finally, on the way home after playtime and dinner with Hermano and his family- a sleeping Bumblebee boy. 

The best part of the day- spending it with my boy and our friends.  It was a great day.

Love and hugs,
