Upon arriving in Omaha, we checked-in to our hotel then headed out for some pizza. My dad's Garmin Nuvi gave us numerous options...we chose a local place called Zio's New York Pizza. The pizza was great but Luke and Hope were ready to head to the bowling alley. Again, we used dad's Nuvi to find a bowling alley close to the hotel...the first one had league bowling going on and therefore no 'open bowling'...the second one was empty but was not smoke-free. The third one had a full parking lot and was smoke free. It was called Mockingbird lanes and was about 2 miles from our hotel. The whole bowling alley was dark (on purpose) and they were playing loud music and a disco ball was shining little lights all over the bowling alley. Luke loved the music and it was hard to keep him focused on the bowling because he was having so much fun dancing to the music! We bowled one game because it takes a long time (and a lot of patience) to bowl with a 2 and 3 year-old.
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.

After that it was back to the hotel room where we were attempting to stay in a normal hotel room with 2 queen beds. We watched the Olympics for a little while then turned out the lights...it took Luke and Hope about 30 minutes to fall asleep because they were having too much fun making noises back and forth at each other. That's it for day one.
