The Children's Museum Rocks!

Rocks as in awesome?  Or rocks as in pieces of nature?  Well, there were rocks of all kinds in the Indy Children's Museum.  But I'm talking about rocks in terms of awesomeness.  Because one of the best things about Indiana?  DEF.  the museum.  For reals.  So get ready for LOTS and LOTS of pictures (don't say I didn't warn you)!  First I would like to list a couple of our favorite exhibits:

1.  Barbie (for sure). Lola loved being on the runway in the little ballerina skirt.

2.  I liked going to Egypt.  Since I'll probably never get there in real life, the Children's Museum is probably the next best thing, right?  Well, it seems like it anyway!

3.  Blake liked Egypt, too.  He spent A TON of time copying hieroglyphics.  Yeah....he's got it down.  He might even be able to teach a class or two! :)

4.  Billy isn't here so I can't ask his favorite area of the museum.  If I had to guess I would say.....Barbie?  HA HA HA.  Just kidding (maybe?)!  I think he enjoyed the dinosaurs.  Lola didn't.  She was pretty scared of the dinosaur noises and what-not.

Without further ado, here are the many, many photos of the Yadon clan taking the Indianapolis Children's Museum by storm!

Cardinal Soccer!

That's right, folks!  The U of L soccer season is open for business!  Who was there to watch them take on the #2 UCLA (by the way.....U of L is ranked NUMBER ONE!!!)?!?  We were (and about 8,000 other people).  It was pretty much standing room only.  I blame the Kentucky State Fair that was also going on that night.  Why?  Because we might have been a tad bit late (always) leaving for the game.  Then the fair traffic made it even worse.  Then the million miles away we had to park made it worse, yet again.  Then the HUGE line to pick up the will-call tickets was the icing on the cake.  Which I don't know why that's a saying.  Because icing on a cake is delicious.  Having a bunch of annoying things happen is not so great. Just sayin'.  Anyway......

We made it.  We didn't have a place to sit and we could barely see during the first half.  We did see the own goal by UCLA, though.  And the 1-0 score was awesome.  Then at the half, we were able to maneuver our way to a standing spot RIGHT by the gate and right by the U of L goal.  So when they scored in the second half?  Yeah.  We were right there.  It was beyond amazing!  The weather was perfect!  U of L is AWESOME.  And Blake had a great time watching the WHOLE game!  GO CARDS!!!


P.S.  Yes, we put tattoos on our faces!  I know you love it! :)

Lola still doesn't do well with the camera flash!  We had fun trying, though! :)

Teaching her to make the L!
