Day 3 - Omaha Children's Museum
Our last morning in Omaha, we headed out around 9:00 to get some Scooter's coffee (Scooters coffee made its start in Nebraska)....we LOVE their coffee. Anyway, we then headed downtown to the Omaha Children's' Museum. Wow, this was one cool place to take the kids! If I lived there, I'd have a season pass to go at least once a week......great playgroup attraction! There was a playground room where there was a playhouse set-up, fire station set-up, and grocery store. The kids loved this room and played in it the majority of the time. The other room had a craft area, where the kids did make a craft, it also had a box full of moon-sand...Luke would have stayed there all day if we let him. There were several other rooms along with a dinosaur exhibit upstairs. We had a great time and we stayed for 3+ hours. After that we headed to downtown Omaha for another round of Pizza and ice cream before hitting the road back to KC.



Day 2 - Omaha Zoo
Day 1 - Pizza, Cosmic Bowling, & Swimming
After that we headed to TCBY for a little ice cream, which we took back to the room to eat.
Up next was a trip to the pool. The entire pool is only 2 to 4 feet deep, so it is great for little kids. We thought we might have the place to ourselves but there were a lot of other families
swimming as well. The pool had a mushroom that spilled water out of its top, a little slide in the shape of a frog and a bigger slider towards the deep end. Luke and Hope had a blast! Luke loved going down the frog slide and could swim (with life jacket) all over the pool with no problem. Hope like the shallow end where she could walk but was mostly interested in going over to the hot tub and putting her feet in. After little while I decided to ride down the bigger slide with Luke, but mis-judged just how shallow the pool was. In attempting to prevent Luke from going under the water, I scraped my foot on the bottom of the pool, ripping off one of my toe nails in the process. Sloan knew by the look on my face that something went wrong. From that point on I was sitting on the side trying to get my toe to stop bleeding! Sorry for the details.
