For Dave's birthday this year, we surprised him with a weekend trip to Indianapolis. I was able to book a suite at the Staybridge Suites in Fishers that included four tickets to the Indianapolis Children's Museum. We spent all afternoon on Saturday at the museum. Then, we checked into the hotel, ate supper, swam in the pool, and finished the night with popcorn and a movie. It was the perfect day. The kids were so well behaved. Lilly did really well considering we missed her nap time. Liam was extremely excited! His reactions to the dinosaurs made the whole trip worth it.
Liam was so excited to see his pal Bumblebee at the entrance to the museum!

Lilly wouldn't leave the step. Heaven forbid she get dirty.

The kids loved the Science Works section.
Lilly loved playing pretend in the healthy house.
Liam could have stayed at the construction site all day. He let Lilly help him do some of the work.
The carousel was a big hit with both kids!
Liam loved climbing up into the tree house.
Liam and Lilly worked hard to make their own sculptures.
What a beautiful creation and great team work.
The kids got to become scuba divers and look for things hidden in the ocean. The pack was almost as big as Lilly!
One of the new exhibits this summer is all about China. As a preview, they have a section about the Terracotta Soldiers.
We successfully wore Lilly out.
After swimming in the pool, the kids took a bath and then snuggled on the couch to watch The Lorax.
Liam woke up really early (even with Day Light Savings time), so he took a much needed nap on our way home Sunday afternoon.
