Slidin in Omaha

Today we had big plans to do a lot of walking around downtown Omaha to the waterfront and the new pedestrian bridge they built and to Old Market. We started off by grabbing some lunch at Old Chicago (yum) then headed to the giant slides. We spent a lot of time there and took along some wax paper to make us go faster. I only went down once but Caleb went down several and was loving it, especially with the paper. Then he was racing his own paper down the slide.




After this we started walking toward the bridge and decided it was just too hot. The "feels like" temperature was 97 degrees with the humidity upwards 50%. The boys were flushed and we were sweating like crazy so we stopped short of the bridge and hung out in the shade while grandma and Mike went to get the cars. We totally whimped out on today's plans. But we all hung out at Sue's and let the boys play in the pool some more which they were loving and most of us even napped a little. It turned out to be an ok day overall, just a lot more low-key than we thought it would be.
2 more days to go!
