Quick Nebraska Trip

Joe had a work trip to Omaha and Lincoln and the kids and I decided to tag along.  We were able to visit with family and have some fun on our own.  We went to the Omaha Zoo while Joe worked Monday.  It was FREEZING.  They have a lot of indoor options but even walking between buildings was painful.  Both the boys really loved the aquarium.  Probably has something to do with the fast moving and bright colored animals.  Kamden was most taken with the Bobcat.  I am referring to the piece of machinery that was in with the giraffes.... not the actual animal (which he barely glanced at).  That boy...

Tuesday I had a few hours to entertain the kids while Joe worked.  We visited the Lincoln Children's Museum and it was PERFECT for my boys.  Kamden probably would have stayed there all day if given the chance.  There was a tractor, fire truck, semi truck cab, police motorcycle, airplane, train, space ship, etc.  Seriously... it was heaven.  There were a lot of other pretend areas like a grocery store, bank, post office, doctor's office, etc.  But you can probably guess where Kamden spent all his time...

The boys driving in the semi truck cab.

Brody loved pushing around the shopping carts.

The tractor cab a screen inside showing images of actual farming.

The fire truck was complete with a hose and coordinating uniforms. 

I am so envious that we don't have anything of this scale in KC.  It is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area!
