Vacation Day

On Monday I took the day off for us to take the kids on a promised trip to the Children’s Museum in Indianapolis. Since we had the whole day, we decided to hit the Zoo too. This was in lieu of Azariah having a birthday party.

The Zoo had some aquarium parts to it as well that were nice. Above is the very nice dolphin show. This seemed to be everyone’s favorite part.

I saw the roller coaster, and decided to take the boys on their first roller coaster ride. Zion loved it. Azariah was a bit excited here, but I think it was a bit intense for him. It really wasn’t much of a trill ride, but for a 6 year old, I can see how it was a bit tense.

This Zoo had a really good Zebra exhibit.

The kids climbed on the rocks a bit. The Indianapolis museum is very pretty. It’s nice and shady.

Overall, I liked the Indianapolis Zoo, but I’m not sure I liked it better than Louisville’s, it’s a bit different. If Louisville had a dolphin show, it would definitely be better. Cinncinatti wins the best Zoo within 150 miles in my book still.

Glorianna tries a block puzzle at the Children’s museum. All the kids love puzzles. I think they did just about every puzzle they found at the museum.

Azariah puts some spikes on a stegasaurus’ back.

The big attraction was the star wars stuff. Here’s the kids in some star wars dress up.

Here’s Glorianna and Yoda hanging out.

On the way home, we stopped at the Edinburgh outlet mall to do a little shopping, and finished the trip home, with a stop to pickup some pizza since we were too tired to cook dinner.

Overall it was a nice vacation day. It’s probably the only big thing we’ll do this summer, until later in September or October.
