In front of the museum

Guilty--can't remember who this is.  :0)

Capturing our outings and happenings and sharing them with you is the highlight of my day--when I actually get the time to sit and blog.  It reminds me of when H was a baby and I had to ask myself if I wanted to spend my time taking pictures so that I could remember that time or if I wanted to spend quality time without a viewfinder blocking him.  I still haven't fully figured that out yet, while I know that the answer probably should be "without the camera".  Perhaps the old adage regarding balance and moderation should be my guide.  Either way, I get to show you some of our best times. 

This weekend, after taking Mom II to the airport, we drove to downtown Indianapolis so that we could visit the Eiteljorg Museum.  Mom II suggested this destination as they have a model train display at Christmas time that she felt sure that we all would enjoy.  She was right!  The kids also were able to earn a Scouting patch for tracking some Native American displays.  Fun!

 After visiting the museum, we wandered toward the center of the city to walk the mall.  I am not a shopper and since having been in Belize we all have become less enchanted with the commercialism of the holiday season than we were prior to leaving.  At any rate, I have been enjoying the differences between the two countries and one of those is the density of people and buildings.

We watched "A Christmas Carol" here last year and loved it.  Our homeschool group visits here frequently.
