Omaha- Update #1

We are happy to report that we made it here without incident for the most part and really the worst part was just getting through security in Salt Lake after having to disrobe everyone and getting all of our crap and the double stroller through the xray machines (that's a story all in itself). After arriving we got to Great Aunt Sue's house and were met with a bunch of family for a little pizza. Then we just visited for our first night.
Yesterday we separated and I went to a huge craft fair with Great Aunt Peggy and I found some great craft ideas and bought a few goodies along the way. Mike went with his siblings and Grandma Braska watched the boys. Mike ended up at an arcade playing Dance Dance Revolution. I hear it was pretty hilarious to watch two white boys with no rhythm on it. The video should be coming soon as Aunt Kari was able to record some of it.
Today was time with Grandma Braska in the morning. She brought over her 3 big Labradors that Caleb loves to play with and then they made them some homemade doggie treats. After that we grabbed a quick lunch and it was off to the Children's Museum where they had a dinosaur exhibit going on. Here's a few quick pics from today.

Caleb helping to cut out the dog biscuits. He had fun but got tired toward the end and was asking her why it was taking so long.
Some of the biscuits on the tray. She even cuts them into doggie bone shapes (of course, right?)

Caleb and Uncle Sean sharing a bonding moment over the Nintendo DS.


The ball room at the museum was just as big a hit with Caleb this time as last. He has fun making those balls do all sorts of things. In this pic he was making them float on the air coming from those pipes.


Me and Caleb in front of the T-Rex. Caleb was a little scared of him since they were robotic and moving and roaring so mom had to sit with him for the pic. My pants look all funky. I promise they are just white with little black stripes not the funk in this picture.

Grandma Braska posing in the sizable dino footprints. She was also sporting Caleb's stegosaurus hat that he wouldn't keep on his head. It was a "must blog" photo.
More adventures to come. Still 4 days to go. I'll post more as I can.
