Indiana State Museum!

We met friends and went to the Indiana State Museum. We had never been before and it had been on my bucket list. The Doty and Neulieb family joined us!
I can't say enough good things it was a wonderful day. 



 Nephi and Kaden - outside by the water before we left for the day.

 One floor of the museum they had loads of old cars and a spot to dress up like a hood ornament. 

 Truman with Bella and Coraline

 Although it was not all of us from co-op they asked if we wanted to put a name on our reservation to get a free lunch room so it worked out great! The museum was mostly empty to us all day.

 Nephi and Claire N.

 They had one room filled with famous people from Indiana - some I remembered and some I had no idea.

 In this exhibit they thought it was a hit to smell different items and guess what they were and if it triggered a memory for you - from flowers, pickles, cow.....

 Different Music 

 Claire and Clair 






 Charles and Titus in the ice age portion. 
This was an example of a cave found in southern Indiana that was guarded by a jaguar.  The cave was accidentally cut into in1974 by a highway construction crew. The site was then excavated by Indiana University and donated to the museum.  
 The animals were wonderful! It was so interesting to see what animals have been found to live in Indiana. 


 Crazy story of a farmer who found all these bones in his ditch which was in LaPorte, Indiana

Mastodon bones




We had a great day and it was easy to get to and park. I hauled the kids to Costco afterwards. Today, after soccer I imagine will be pretty low key.
