We had a really fun day on Monday when visited the Eiteljorg Museum with Meemaw and Papa Carl in downtown Indianapolis. Our city has 12 free days of Christmas festivities with a different museum or event allowing free admission for the day. The Eiteljorg is a museum "dedicated to the appreciation and understanding of American Indian and western art and the many cultures of North America" (quote from their website). We didn't get to see the entire museum because we had 3 busy little people with short attention spans so we spent our time in areas that held their interest. New to the museum this years is their Jingle Rails miniature train adventure. It was awesome (Nicholas says as he helps me type this blog). The other cool area for the kids was the education center where they were able to decorate and raise a totem pole, play instruments, play inside a Native American dwelling, ride on a stagecoach, etc. So cool!!
