History museum

Last year, we went to the free day at Connor Prairie with my mom, sisters, and their boys. We had so much fun, a repeat was in order. We had beautiful weather, and my brother-in-law even joined for the fun. Best part was I got my Christmas present early - a membership from my mom so we can go whenever we want! The boys did more of the history parts this year. They all joined the army and helped protect IN in the Civil War Days. :) Check out the fun we had!

I love this place, and so does David. Lots of space to run outside, and play areas inside. I love that Indy has so many places we can go for fun and learning!

Conner Prairie

A few weekends ago, I went with my sisters and mom to Conner Prairie, a local interactive history park. It was a free day sponsored by the Smithsonian. It was the perfect fall day to go. The boys had so much fun! David didn't really understand what everything was, but it was still coll to see everything that I rememeber seeing when I was a kid.
