Yesterday, Madelynne, went on her first field trip to the Indian Museum. She was a little confused as to what a field trip actually entails. She asked, "Do I get to go on an airplane to my field trip?" No. "A helicopter?" No. "Then what am I going on my field trip?" You see up until this point in her life the only trips she has gone on have involved driving (for a long time) or flying on a plane to go somewhere. She was a little disappointed her field "trip" was only fifteen minutes away. But, she wasn't nearly as disappointed as her friend, Madelynn, who thought they were going to Myrtle Beach (her family vacations there every year). When her family pulled up to the museum and got out of the car she turned to her mom and said, "It's not warm here!" Yes, it wasn't warm because they never left Ohio! I love the way children think.
Despite the confusion we still had a really great time.
This is one of the first things you see when you walk into the museum. Wouldn't want to run into this in the middle of the night!
Jackson viewed the museum from his stroller. He was most interested in the things Indians eat. Big surprise.
Learning how to grind corn just like the Indians.
Listening to the museum volunteer talk about Indian life: what they ate, what kind of houses they lived in, and what kind of work they did.
Madelynne, and her friend, Madelynn, and their new friend, Bruno.
Of course, one of Mommy's favorite parts of the museum was the shoes. Look at the intricate bead work on these beauties!
This totum pole looked like a good case for an orthodontist to me!
Madelynne was practically kissing the glass on some of the displays.
More beautiful intricate bead work on these pants.
No field trip is complete without a good snack!
