Hanging with the Sorority Sisters

Last weekend was the annual Halloween Donor's

Party at the Indianapolis Children's Museum.  

Things have been pretty quiet around here for  the

past few weeks and I confess an hour before we 

were supposed to leave, I was still in my jammies.

I was thinking maybe I could just stay home, but 

the Sorority Girls were coming down from Purdue

to meet us and I wanted to see them.

I got myself together and we all met up for a

nice meal and a stroll through the museum.

When our kids were young, we always had a 

membership here and visited often.  It is now

so funny to go when the kids are all grown up.

The best part of the evening was hanging out

with these beautiful young ladies.  They are 

all so sweet and nice and smart!  They are 

studying aeronautical engineering, actuarial 

science, business and education.

We toured all the exhibits including the Haunted

House and ended the visit as we always do with a

ride on the carousel.

This is my favorite horse and I always

try to ride her.  She is decorated with 

my European Folk Art colors.

Thanks Purdue Girls for a delightful evening!

A Night At The Museum

 

The Children's Museum of Indianapolis has been a

big part of our lives for many years.  When Our kids

were young we had a family membership and spent

many days exploring all the fun things the museum

had to offer.  It is the largest Children's Museum in

the world and considered one of the best.

 

 

This year is the 50th Anniversary of the museum's

Haunted House.  This is the longest continuous

running haunted house in the nation.  Mr. Wonderful's

company is one of the sponsors so we went to a VIP

night last night.

 

 

There was a lovely dinner and the museum

was open for us to explore.  Since it is fall

break at Purdue, Kate and a few of her friends

drove down from West Lafayette.

 

 

Kasey, Sarah and Kate were all set

for Halloween.

 

 

A great band was playing in the main lobby.

 

 

There is a fabulous Dale Chihuly glass

sculpture in the center of the museum,

it is 4 stories high.

 

 

But if you go to the lower level you can recline

on this lounge and it slowly spins so you can view

the lit up glass ceiling.

 

 

It is spectacular!

 

The girls were like kids in a candy store,

they had to climb in all the exhibits.

 

 

And we finished with a few rides on the

beautiful carousel.  Tonight, Wonderful

and I are going back for the Black Hat Bash.

Good to have some fun together, tomorrow

we start flying around the country again.
