Spring Break

For Spring Break, we decided to take a few days and do something fun as a family.  We first headed to Louisville for a few days.  King and I visited the temple first, which is always a lovely thing to do. 
 
 We then, after much whining and complaining from the children, headed to the American Printing House for the Blind.  I thought it sounded interesting, and it was free.  The two younger girls complained the whole way there.  And then, when it was closing and it was time to leave, we couldn't get them to leave.  They loved all of the maps that were for blind students, and had a great time typing their names in braille. 
We walked down the street to this little dessert cafe and had some delicious cake.  Yum. 
 Then it was time for the Louisville Science Center.  I figured we'd spend about an hour here.  Three and a half hours later, the girls were still having a great time.  My favorite exhibit was the Amazing Beginnings, which had eight human embryos.  Amazing is right. 





 Across the street, we took the opportunity for a photo-op with the famous Louisville Slugger bat.  (But some of us don't know that when you take an opportunity for a photo-op, you should open your eyes and smile.  Argh.)

 There were these horses everywhere, and the girls had to have some pictures.  (I'll spare you the hundreds and include only two.)

 Then it was off to the 21c Hotel/art museum, famous for their red penguins.
 I think these next two pictures show the girls' favorite art there. 

We had dinner, and watched the BYU/Florida game (exciting win) and a late bedtime.  The next day, we attended church, played games, watched movies and hung out.  Then, we headed to French Lick, Indiana.  (I know, you're asking, 'why?', right?  Well, you'll see.  Tune in next time...)

  1. We have been to Louisville once and really loved it. We loved the bat making factory, all the horses and we ate at a couple great places.

    You found some much more interesting things to see than we did. That museum sounds awesome!

    I'm struck by how teenagerish your girls are looking. You have a beautiful family and it looks like you had a great trip to start off your Spring Break!
