I may have mentioned a time or two or 50 that some of our best friends recently moved to Indianapolis. The Pooleys used to live lots of hours away from us but now they live just a short drive away in Indiana. We are VERY excited at the possibility of getting to see them more!
We headed out of town after school on Friday for a Boyle road trip. It was an uneventful trip if you don't count the customary sibling fighting that always seems to occur at an increased rate in the car. It's a right of passage though, right? We arrived at the Pooley's gorgeous new home and were so happy to see our friends.
After some catching up and a good night's rest, we hung out on Saturday morning, with the kids doing a lot of this...
After we got cleaned up, we grabbed some lunch and hit the Indianapolis Children's Museum. Sometimes it's hard to believe how much these two have grown!
Getting ready to ride the elevator down to the Egyptian exhibit.
Classic Lila face!
Coincidentally Nate has a new found love for all things Egyptian and King Tut. He was very happy to get to read and explore this exhibit. They even had a mummy's tomb that you could piece back together. He loved it.
...and it took nearly every adult there to figure out how to get it back together. Team effort!
Our motley crew!
After exploring pharoahs, a shipwreck, and the Chinese Terra Cotta Army, we hiked up to the Science floor. Where Nate learned about sounds and vibration. He more than loved touching the prong to his nose (and our noses) after banging it on the table. All in the name of science!
This exhibit was about how much sugar, oil and salt are in foods we eat. It was gross. And educational for the kids:)
Scott & Ryan also found a microscope in this area, so they were occupied for a while. Science geeks!
A carousel ride finished out our trip the museum. It was a success!
It warms my heart that these 4 always pick up right where they left off. I hope they are friends forever!
Until next time...:)
