Sabbatical Roadtrip Day 20-21

It was a long drive to Omaha but we made good time. We were hit with at least 6 tolls on the way to Aunt Laurie's house! We were about an hour on the road and Logan's tummy started to hurt (although he didn't bother to tell us!). He vomited in the car so we had to make a pit stop at Target for some supplies. Thankfully it was only once and not much to clean up. We pulled into Omaha around 5pm and the girls had a little scavenger hunt for the boys. It was a perfect activity after a long drive. Laurie made an amazing dinner for us and we settled in for the evening. In the morning we headed to University of Nebraska stadium for a self guided tour. It was fun walking around on campus and seeing the HUSKER football field. We also stopped by the Ag buildings and got some ice cream from the Dairy store. Laurie also introduced us to a Runza a special sandwich with a side of Frings (fries & onion rings). It was quite tasty! We also visited the Space Aviation Center before heading to Mahoney State Park. The park had a great overlook of the Platte river and it had a water park which had almost all to ourselves. The boys enjoyed the water slides and the wave pool with Natalie and Rachel. Ken sliced his toe on the stairs up to the water slides so he had to sit out. Somehow I was nominated to get a whole bucket of water dumped on my head :-( After a very full day we came home for some pasta & salad and board games. After a good nights sleep we headed to the Omaha Zoo, which I think is far better than the San Diego Zoo! We saw lots of amazing animals, had a picnic, watched a "sharks" IMAX show and went on the skyfari lift ride over the park. Another very busy couple of days with family!
