Omaha Weekend

The kids had today off school so we went to Omaha for a long weekend.  We had a nice time and the kids both did great traveling.  Brady is already asking when we can go back.

Children's Museum:

Ellie's favorite things were the bananas in the pretend grocery store and catching butterflies in the bug exhibit.  She did NOT like the life size bugs at all.  Brady had lots of fun in the ball zone and going through the caterpillar bounce house.

Omaha Zoo:

Brady loved it all, but was particularly excited to go through the Dinosaur Alive exhibit (of course the only not real animal section).  He told us he was not scared of dinosaurs, but there was a bit of hesitation once we got in the dinosaur area.  They were very big and moved when you were least expecting them to.  Brady was holding on to one of our legs any time we got close to a meat eater.  He was a little more laid back when we passed the herbivores.

Ellie's favorite animals are ducks.  She loved the pond with ducks and would have been quite content pointing and saying duck over and over.    

 

 

 

Water Park:

The hotel we stayed at had a small water park that was perfect for the kids.  Ellie really enjoys playing in the water.  She has no problem with getting splashed and water in the face.  Brady had a blast going down the water slides.  He was supposed to be 48 inches to go down the big water slide, but there was not anyone checking so we let him go.  Shhh, don't tell anyone.  I am not typically a rule breaker, but it seemed like a silly rule.
