Children's Museum of Indianapolis

We made one last trip (at least for a while) to the Children's Museum over the weekend. It was opening day for their new exhibit--Rock Stars, Cars, & Guitars. The exhibit had a lot of great rock memorabilia (Elvis, Beatles, Kiss, etc.) and vintage cars, plus fun activities for the boys.

Cole would have stayed dressed as a rock star and danced around on stage for the whole visit if we allowed.

Caden's favorite activity of the day was climbing the rock wall. This was his first time on the rock wall as kids have to be six to climb, and I haven't had extra hands with me on any of our visits since his birthday.

Papa was Caden's spotter.

Making the climb


Realizing that rock climbing is more difficult than he expected. The museum has tried to make the rock climb a very realistic experience, so there wasn't a whole lot for Caden to grab on to for help lifting himself up.

Heading back down...Caden loved it and has a goal to make it even higher on our next visit.

My boys can never get enough of video gaming...Cole playing Lego Star Wars

and Caden playing Super Mario Brothers

Another super fun visit to the museum! We will definitely return, but our next visit won't be as members and our visits won't be as often. So glad we were able to live somewhere with so many family-friendly attractions!

I wish we had been able to go to the Museum more than once! You really will miss that place on a cold boring winters day!
