[[{"type":"media","view_mode":"media_large","fid":"39840","attributes":{"class":"media-image","typeof":"foaf:Image","style":"","width":"300","height":"239","title":"Explorer","alt":"Explorer"}}]]Hi! We are the Thomas Family! Starring Dad- Justin, Mom-Rebekah and our three young stars, Emily who is 10, Ethan who is 4 and Eli who is 2!!! Our family is always full of fun and adventure. As parents, we try to promote our children's love for learning and personal development by striving to live by our family motto, "If you can dream it, you can do it!" This exact motto and idea is what has helped to create a local non-profit organization called Project Birthday Lafayette. Project Birthday was started by a simple idea from our daughter Emily who wished that no child would have to go without a Birthday gift or celebration. As a family, we created Project Birthday which collects donations from around the community and host birthday parties and provide gifts to children at local homeless shelters and other social agencies. Our children have learned to be creative and know that every idea they have is possible and can be used to create something wonderful. No idea is off limits in our home which is why we have created elaborate homemade Halloween costumes such as fire trucks, trains and helicopters out of cardboard boxes. We also make homemade Valentine's treats with candy made into race cars, iPods, cell phones and trains.

We are always exploring, learning and using our imagination to create special family memories. Every season we sit down with our kids and make a Family Fun To Do List. We just completed our Summer Fun list and The Children's Museum of Indianapolis was top of the list once again!!! We love the Children's Museum because it offers fun activities to keep all of my children happy, no matter what season it is. We try to visit the Children’s Museum once a month. When we visit we allow the kids to decide where to go and what to see, and we just do our best to keep up with them! It really is one of their favorite places to go and has helped to create a desire to learn more about science, history, art and much more. But, I have to say the number one thing I LOVE about the Children's Museum is that it offers a fun and safe place for my family to spend time together, and create many family memories that we will cherish for years to come.
