Last Wednesday the electricity in our neighborhood was completely shut off for an emergency replacement they had to do nearby. It was going to be off between 1 and midnight - that's a long time for no air conditioning and high 80's outside! Usually the kiddos go down for naps about 1 and wake anywhere from 2:30 on, but I decided it was already too warm in their rooms, no way they were going to sleep and we needed to get out of the house till it cooled down. I got to thinking about the different things we could do and the Indianapolis Children's Museum popped in my mind. We recently bought a year's membership there so I knew we could go for free and stay as long as we like up until closing time at 5pm. My husband doesn't work too far from there so he could even swing by after to work to join us.
I decided that was it and we were off. I grabbed a backpack filled with delicious snacks and cold drinks and out the door we went! I didn't tell either of them so it would be a surprise when we got there. My son calls it the "Dinosaur Museum" because of the cool dinosaurs that are breaking through the front of the museum and also the ones trying to climb in.
