Omaha trip

We decided since there were only 2 days off between school and summer school, to take the kids to an overnight trip to Omaha. It was exciting! We turned Sully around in his carseat to face front for the first time. He likes it I think most of the time.

Happy with his loaders and his stars.

After arriving at the hotel we took the kids swimming in the FREEZING COLD pool. After we had been in there for 35 mins I finally asked someone to turn it up and they did. I should have asked before Sully burned his daily calorie allowance in shivering and had blue lips. We went straight upstairs to get in the hot shower and I turned the heat up to about 85 for awhile.

Then we took a walk to find a place to eat. we decided on mexican and picked the very worst restaurant in the area. Oh well. The kids were wild and it wasn't an issue. Griffin had a headache by this point, so he and I went back to the hotel to hang out while B took the other 2 for a carriage ride.

The next morning we got up for breakfast before hitting the zoo. The kids were wild at breakfast! We decided to just eat at the hotel.  They had normal things I thought the kids would eat.  Griffin ate 2 little boxes of cereal! WHOA! Everyone ate pretty good (besides Sully of course).

Dinosaurs Alive was there (it's also at Worlds of fun) and the kids liked it.

Sully was a crab about pictures.

He thinks he's so big, climbing fences to see rhinos and all.

Love this kid.

Loved the tigers!

The boys were TIRED by this point.  Sully fell asleep at the end of the train ride and slept through our last exhibit, the rainforest.  He stayed asleep when we put him in the car even! It was a really fun trip, though short.  Sometimes just a night away is what the doctor ordered.

Silly Griff on the way home. The kids were good in the car for the most part.

All in all a success!
