Wyatt seems to have caught the blog bug and the other day asked if he could post. Below is exactly what he wrote by himself. I changed nothing and made no corrections. I did add photos at the bottom. It took him a very long time and he said he wasn't done yet, so there may be more to come. This was his take on the Children's Museum in Indianapolis:
The day that we where suppost to go to the meseum we drove by and saw three things
#1 Three dinosaurs with wich hats
#2 A dinosaur that looks like it is braking in
#3 A big sign that said CLOSED ON MONDAY.
So the next day we came back and we loved it plus all hands on!
It had something called fireworks of glass! It was a huge thing of blone glass!
It even had the real bummbull bee the auto bot it said he was the smallest auto bot . I now you think it souneds amazing cause it is.
We all agreed with Wyatt. The museum was all its cracked up to be.
And he was right. We pulled up after a 3 hour drive from Illinois and everyone was all excited seeing dinosaurs busting in and out of the museum walls. Excited also just to get out of the car I suppose. And lo and behold: The big sign said "CLOSED ON MONDAYS" well...there was a one in seven chance that we would be there on a Monday. Luckily, we stayed 2 nights in Indianapolis so we came back on Tuesday.
One thing that stood out for me (besides the ridiculous incident when Payton drank out of another family's water bottle) was seeing the kids all play and maybe even learn together, like the one room school house idea. For us, I guess that would be the one minivan school house.
There was an exhibit about recovering stuff from what they believe is Captain Kidd's ship in the Caribbean. The real video and photos as well as real artifacts were interesting, but being able to "scuba dive" and do research on the sunken cannons just like the real divers was even more fun. Sally and Wyatt worked together "underwater" measuring and taking notes.

ITINERARY UPDATE: We are in Columbus, Ohio right now spending time with family. More on that to come. We did the midnight at Waffle House run last night, so Payton can check that off his wish list.

Good job, Wyatt! It was nice to hear what you thought about things. And...CLOSED ON MONDAYS? What were they thinking?
See you in a couple of days!
