Indianapolis
October 2007

      
     Jean, Brendan, Owen and I stayed at the Crown Plaza Hotel in Indy.  We visited with Laura, Kim and Stacey (there are no pictures of them...darn...I dropped the ball there).  The FFA were in town for a national convention.  They were a bunch of nice, polite teenagers.  I even saw one girl from Alaska!

      
Brendan and Owen in the pack 'n' play and the king-sized bed

   
Remnants of our terrific breakfast....Kathy feeds Owen

   
Just outside our room there was the big train (full of hotel rooms)

      
Brendan really liked the train....we had to keep the room latched so he couldn't get out (again)

      
Brendan....Jean....Owen

   
We were right by the Dome

         
Jean had me take pictures of Colts stuff (for Jeff).


Then we went to the Children's Museum

      
The dinosaurs are escaping!  Happy sign


Jean, the boys and I waited in the gift shop for Jeff and Haley Hardesty.
I bought this Magic Marble Kaleidoscope

         
Some pictures I took through my new kaleidoscope

   
I fell in love with this glass sculpture titled Fireworks of Glass by Dale Chihuly

   
Beautiful

      
The floor of the sculpture from above

   
We went below the sculpture and reclined on a slowly spinning thing

The water table was a big hit!  Haley and Brendan....Haley and Brendan

      
Jean and Brendan....Brendan....Brendan really got this machine moving

   
Brendan took a block from the arch to use at the water table....Haley spotted this frog on the ridge of the pond
