Children's Museum with Grandparents

Another adventure we had during Spring Break was visiting the Indianapolis Children's Museum with Grandma and Grandpa Schwieder.  It was a busy day full of all sorts of fun.  

 We were able to learn about the Terracotta Soldiers which were found buried in China.  Here Eric and Wendy stand by a soldier they put together from broken pieces.  The other picture is of the family discussing the water clock and how it worked.  Grandpa was in his element explaining the science behind it.  Everyone was interested and we spent almost ten minutes watching it work.

 The first two pictures in this row are of family lying on the rotating bench and watching the shapes in the ceiling.  It is filled with glass blown objects, which are the bottom of a 3 story sculpture.  It is relaxing and enjoyable.  The next picture is of me in a mirror that helps me thin out, I liked it!  The last is of Eric with his Potato Head creation.

Here is a photo with the Chocolate backdrop, which was a must for Sabrina.  Then the kids posing/playing on the scuba display.  We learned about the discovery of a sunken Pirate ship.  Below is discovering dinosaur bones, Dad next to his Egyptian tomb guide and hat twin, and Wendy with her scuba gear.

 Another section to the Childrens' Museum is called Sports Legends.  It has a small indoor display and then a huge outdoor play area.  There are activities for basketball, golf, baseball, soccer, football, tennis, pedal cars at a Speedway, a tree house, and a track with exercise equipment spaced along the way.  It was fun! 

 You made it to the end of the post, wow!  Above are a video of a interactive display about Soybean crops and bugs, and Mom and Wendy being Newscasters.
