Omaha Days 2 and 3

Days 2 and 3 of our trip brought more adventure. On day 2 we took a drive to Lincoln, NE to visit Morrill Hall- the natural history museum. Of course we would have to take Caleb to see dino's here too right? And all of the other fun stuff. He had a good time. The boys liked digging for bones at the end this time and that we let the out of the strollers to walk around with their backpacks. The funny part of the trip is that they had a giant display and info on the dino's that had all come from the Cleveland-LLoyd quarry down by where I grew up. I flew then drove all that way to see and learn about what was practically in my back yard all those years? Pretty funny. Not that Caleb minded one bit, but it struck me as pretty ironic. And Caleb got to walk over to the stadium and see where the Huskers (or Kari's as he calls them) play. After our return we let the boys play in the pool that they set up here for them and got soaked. Then it was another night of dinner and visiting with the fam.

On Day 3 we went out to Mahoney State Park. We weren't there as long as we were expecting but we got to Climb the giant outdoor tower and look over the park and Platt River. Then we went into the craft lodge and painted some ceramics. Caleb painted a fish, I painted a Grover and Mike was painting one of the Pokemon's. Aunt Kari started painting a small dragon as well. Then we had lunch at the big lodge. After that we decided it was too hot and sticky to stick around outside so we did some of my kind of relaxing-Shopping! We headed to the mall to walk around and pick up some more Husker stuff with Aunt Kari. We had a good time and found some good deals, even had to ship some stuff to Utah already because we couldn't pass up the prices. At night us "big kids" got to go to dinner together while the grown ups watched the babies and Caleb. And then we headed to the bar for a few drinks. It was nice to get away for a few hours. Thanks babysitters!
