Indiana State Museum Visit

My 11 year old cousin has been visiting from Arkansas over the past week, and I'm so glad that she's been here! First, she's been a lot of help playing with Gretchen, but she's also given us an excuse to get out and explore Indiana a little more!

We took her to eat at a fabulous family style dining restraunt in downtown Indiana and shared a huge plate of ravioloi and manicotti! Then, we went to the Indiana State Museum.

In each area, you could punch your ticket to show that you've been there. Gretchen loved pushing the lever down.

There was a fun science room where we could explore microscopes, animal sounds, animal furs, and footprints.

The girls also went "fishing".

And, explored how much energy it takes to start various lightbulbs.

DJ and I wanted to go to the museum for several months now, so this was a great reason to get out and go!!!
