"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully tailored clothes...and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp...I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really there, and that I really lived."

~Marjorie Hinckley



"Our lives are frittered away by detail; simplify, simplify." Henry David Thoreau



"Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is a nobler art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of nonessentials." Lin Yutang

Christmas in Indy, Part 2

Ok...part 2 of our Indy trip....Christmas Eve we visited the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This is our favorite exhibit.


That evening we had a live nativity with all the cousins. Here's a photo of the shepherds. :)
The day after Christmas we enjoyed a trip to the world's largest Children's Museum. We got to go "sledding" down a two story slide....


have a snowball fight....brush Rudolph....




play in a snow castle.....
and play with other cool toys....
see a play in the Lilly Theater and meet Mr. Pumpkinhead after.....

see a show about the planets in the planetarium, dig for dinosaur bones.....

and, of course, ride the famous carosel!!!!
We had a lot of fun!!! We love the Indy Children's Museum.

Here's the promised picture with Cheryl and her baby, Lilian.
So, now there's also a Part 3....sledding on real snow! :)

Thanks for sharing. I know you sent me a bunch of my girls from your trip, but it's fun to see more of your family, too!
