Trip to Indy

Over Caden's Spring Break, we spent a couple days in Indianapolis. We spent a morning looking at rental possibilities, and then we spent the afternoon at the zoo. Indy has a great zoo that we plan to visit often. It was a very pleasant day, so all of the animals (elephants, giraffes, lions, tigers, bears, etc.) were roaming.

We spent the next day at the Children's Museum of Indianapolis. What a fabulous place! We definitely will be frequent visitors to this museum. We're so lucky to live near it for a year.

Until the beginning of May, the museum has three special exhibits that are near and dear to all of the Settlemoir boys' hearts--Star Wars, Comic Book Heroes, and Legos. Here are Caden and Cole with a Jedi Starfighter used in the filming of Star Wars Attack of the Clones. In most of the pictures, you will notice that Cole has decided to pose for pictures without looking at the camera. We gave up trying to catch Cole looking.
Caden could have stayed in the Lego area all day. Too bad this exhibit is not a permanent one. This dragon was made with Legos. Caden was amazed!

It is difficult to see, but behind us is one of the Batmobiles used in the filming of The Dark Knight.
The dinosaur exhibit was another favorite.
This museum has so much to offer. The pictures do not do the five floors of fun justice. We spent several hours at the museum and even skipped an entire floor. We cannot wait to return!
