(
My name is Lindsey Taylor. I have 3 children. I grew up in Indiana and have visited the Childrens Museum of Indianapolis since I was a small child. I have pictures of myself as a child riding the carosel. When I had my first child we became members of the museum. We went every week for a long time. He loved it. The playscape was our home away from home. As I had more children our visits became a little less frequent but still regular.I have watched my children play in the sand, stare into mirrors, admire doll houses, pretend to be racecar drivers, and go sledding indoors. I laughed when my son got stuck in the science works cave. I was scared when I lost my other son in the dinosaurs. I cried when they listened and was sad over the Ryan white story--a story that was close to my heart since my older sister was in his class at northview. We have spent hours watching trains go in circles. I was broken hearted when the pioneer exhibit closed because I remember my mom talking to me about the indians when I was little. My husband and our boys spent hours at the batman car and my little girl and I shared precious time with the barbies.
The indianpolos childrens museum is a part of my family. One Saturday we were driving home to columbus from a day at the museum. My Boys were 3 and 5. They were talking about all the different types of people (indians, superheros, scientists) my husband looks at me and says "play along" in a whisper. He says to my boys "you know I have a secret and if I tell you you can't tell anyone." The boys stare at their dad with huge eyes and say ok.. my husband goes on to say "your mom and I used to be pirates." They were hilariously amazed. We went on with his elaborate story of our ship and our parrot and the islands we went to. But of course we never harmed anyone. We only stole coockies and brownies but we finally decided to give up our life of crime because we wanted a family. My children still believe this story. We often hear them whispering to their friends that there parents are pirates.
My family is very close and we spend all the time we can together. We would love the opportunity to scavenger hunt together. We are super competitive and love participating in things like this. Please choose the Taylor pirates!
