Day of Fun

We've had some good family time the past couple days...well if a day full of doctor appts counts too.  Today though we went to the Indianapolis Children's Museum.  The kids had tons of fun, including Avery who spent her day sleeping, eating and riding in a stroller.  In the Dinosphere section Cade (and Scotty) were fascinated by the fossils and dinosaur bones.  Cade and Aly got to dig for bones, it's the one thing Cade had talked about doing for days.  Then there was the Barbie Fashion Expierence, oh my gosh, Aly saw the heavens open and heard angels sing, she loved it!  She got to dress up like Barbie and walk down the runway as Cade pretended to be the photographer.  She pranced and danced down the runway and "Vogued" her little butt off.  She also got to style Barbie heads hair.  She stood at those mannequin heads for 30 minutes and would not leave.  We asked several times if she was ready to go, she would pause her hair brushing, turn around and say "nope", then turn back around and continue to style Barbie's hair.  She would even turn the head around to the mirror so the Barbie could see the hairstyle she gave.  I know Aunt Lori is proud right now.  Cade had his first experience at rock climbing.  He did great!  He got stuck about 3/4 the way up the rock but figured it out and got himself all the way to the top.  I was so proud of him for not giving up and figuring out how to get all the way up.  He was proud of himself too.  When I asked him how he liked it he said "It was fun but it was tough!".  At the end of the day when I asked the kids, like I always do, what their favorite part was Aly said "Dressing up and fixing Barbie's hair" (shocker).  Cade said his favorite part was seeing all the dinosaurs.  I asked him if there was a specific part of the dinosaurs (b/c there was alot) and he said the "Palientografist".  I stared at him for a second and said "what?" he repeated the "Palientografist".  Thinking he was mispronouncing the name of a dino, I asked which one that was.  He said "you know the guy that digs the bones up", OH!  The Paleontologist!!  Then he said "I want to be one of those, but I have a long time before I have to decide." 
By the way, we had to go back to the Barbie section one last time before we left for the day.  She needed just a little more fashion experience time!
