Every time you are tempted to react in the same old way, ask if you want to be a prisoner of the past or a pioneer of the future.

Adventures and Family with more to come...


Museum of Science and Industry


There were MANY, MANY, MANY elementary schools at the museum. Here is only a small portion of them eating lunch. Waiting to see certain displays could easily be like a roller coaster line at an amusement park during peak season. Needless to say, we avoided the super fun kiddie areas this time.




The first thing we did upon our arrival after managing to escape the elementary school trap, was head to the Submarine tour which started at 10:45. There were 31 Ivy Tech people that made the trip. 40 had signed up and paid, so Chris and Bela got to use two of the extra tickets...yay! Free Tickets.






Here is a small group from Ivy Tech. The guy on the left is an English Teacher, the girl next to him is my English Teacher, the lady over my right shoulder is the Director of Student Life, the lady in the blue coat is the Librarian at MC Campus. (yeah, those are the only people I know here). All the others were on the 10:30 Tour.

















After the sub exhibit, we headed right up stairs...Chris saw the FLIGHT SIMULATOR sign, and had to ride it. So we all took a turn. Bela was the pilot, I was the shooter... hope saving the world never rests within our hands, we did terrible. Chris appeared to be doing okay. I got video of him.


Then we just enjoyed the rest of the museum...



You can help the environment, but you must give up the luxury of leg room, and riding together, and kids....











Chris the Harvester... "I think his tractor's sexy..."



Drama Queen....




Hmm... Wonder what they think they are going to find there???Actually this is a hook the cow up to the milking machine racing game. Chris Won.

A Picture of Our Submarine Tour Picture...






We all know Chris is Train Crazy...He had even watched a locomotion documentary before we left this morning. Here is is in the conductor's seat...


















Caught me yawning during our 30 minute wait to explore the coal mines.





Sad she is still waiting to explore the coal mines...


















We left the museum at about 5:30. It took us till almost 10pm to get to d-ville. Traffic was crazy, gas stations wouldn't pump gas, and Taco Bell took 20 minutes at the drive thru! Then the GPS took someway back road that it was not a road! We were driving through a field of nothing but deer....Saturday morning, Ashley woke up early and made holiday mints with grandma. We went to Monical's for lunch before heading to Brent and Amanda's.







First we went to the mall for some clearance shopping, then we headed to B&A's house and chatted while we waited for Makenna to wake up. Then we headed to Prairie Gardens to see the x-mas trees. They were not fully decorated yet, but still fun looking and shopping.














For dinner we ate at DOS! Yummy Grub. Chris' burrito was sooo big, we thought it would be funny to take a picture of it... then Chris took a picture of every one's food. His first, Bela's next and mine last.

































After dinner, we got us some Rueben's candy- YUM-YUM! The we returned to the house to talk more and play....cranium...?? (little help here)...... anyway it was FUN! For some reason my SHUTTLECOCK sculpture skit was interpreted as perverted.. hahaha you can use your imagination on how many ways that can be taken the wrong way when I tried to break it down into two seperate words!! I on the other hand was totally clueless... it's called a BIRDIE people... (learn something new everyday I guess.)




















After the game we watched DISTURBIA and headed to bed. When we woke and got moving, we went to PEEPS, of course. Then headed home. Chris made some AWESOME chilli Sunday night for the guys at work. It is sooo goood. I swear we should open a restaurant.
