Barbie at The Childrens Museum

There was a big big Barbie display at The Children's Museum of Indianapolis. It was about as big as a gymnasium. Tons of girly, girly stuff to do. Lexy was in Barbie heaven. Isaac was on his best behavior because he had been lectured about, "We did Corvettes for you, now this is for her."

There where hundreds of Barbies in there. The fun things were the hands on items. Like...

Lexy did the fashion show, there were bins in the back with cloths to wear. Cameras flashing, music thumping, and plenty of seats for the crowd. There were only a few of us at the time, but she loved it..!!
This was one of here favorite Barbies on display.

Lexy and Amy drew out dresses, and outfits on the light tables.

About the time we thought that we were going to head out from the Barbie display and check out the rest of the place. A lady came by and asked if we wanted to go to the work room in the Barbie area and do a 45 min design workshop. Of course, Lexy was all about that. Amy and Lexy stayed while Isaac and I checked out more of the place.

So, once they kicked out all the boys, they talked about how a designer would design a new dress. They drew there ideas on paper over an outline of Barbie. Then they when to work with tiny dressmaker forms to shape the dress and make sure that it was the correct size. Lexy, of course, picked pink for her dress.

Here is Lexy with both her pink dress and Amy's blue one. Look at that face, she is in heaven.

It is sooooo nice that Amy can do some of the recreation things with us now. Don't get me wrong she still studies most all of the time. But, we do get a little more time with her now.
