Omaha part II

Okay! Sorry this took so long to get out -- our house is still infested with sickness ....

So part two of our Omaha trip. After that horrible first day which didn't end TOO terribly bad with pizza and a movie,we tried to get some sleep. Cason and Brody didn't do too hot waking up a ton during the night but hey, what did I expect from all 5 of us in the same hotel room?? On one of those happy occasion at 2 a.m., Cason woke up wanting juice...from the lobby. (this hotel room gave away unlimited juice and cookies...my kids thought it was the best thing ever) So to prevent him from waking everyone else up with his "I want juice" tantrum, he and I causally took a 2 a.m stroll to the lobby to fill up his sippy with juice (half water- don't worry). .

Well the next morning, we ate a free hotel breakfast and packed up the car to head out for the children's museum for an hour or two before we went to the zoo. Best part about it -- we get in free with our science center and annual zoo pass. Kids had a blast with all the fun things just there size. There was this weird drink guy.....i think his name is agua?? You know, to promote drinking water instead of juice maybe? I don't know though....seemed kind of creepy. Anyway, the huge ball room was a hit! Balls everywhere!! We skipped right passed the art room since our kids tend to make a major mess with paint and I wasn't in the mood to clean up a major mess. After about and hour and  half of all the fun we could stand at the museum, we headed to the zoo. Side note- Cason had been talking about the zoo NON stop since he found out we were going that Wednesday. He was convinced that every time someone left the house, they were going to the zoo without him and he would get VERY upset! here is a million pictured from that...

 pretty sure the little grocery store was their favorite part.

 weird drink guy...

 they made a giant pizza

The Zoo!! This isn't Cason first trip, but it was his first trip where he was actually aware of what was going on. He FLIPPED out over seeing all the animals and wouldn't stop screaming with excitement about every animal he saw. Even the mocking birds or whatever they are that just fly around the park that we see every day out in the real world...FLIPPED OUT he was so stinkin happy.

 this duck would try and bite at cason through through the glass...maybe because they matched??

 Cason started out on this pretty cool ion next to Adalie.

 Then made daddy switch to the bench. Cason is a sissy really...

 petting/brushing the goats are always a must at the zoo

Brody's first petting zoo. didn't like it too much

 We LOVE the aquarium!!

So if you made it this far,I hope you enjoyed the pictures from the good part of the trip!! It was a fun family vaca!!
