February Visit to the OCM

Today the kiddos and I visited the Omaha Children's Museum. Alivia had not gone with us in a while, and she was so excited. We began running around the main room. They shopped for groceries for over a half hour. I was exhausted from putting everything away, but the kids loved it! The crawled through the tunnels, played in the house, and Asher played on the fire truck. Then we made our way upstairs to check out the construction display. The kids enjoyed putting on hard hats and playing with the tools, loading up wheel barrows, making forts, and hammering. They had this area filled with rocks and Asher liked that best. They all played with the dump trucks for quite a while. After a quick trip downstairs to the ball room, we made Valentine's in the art center. It was finally time to rest and eat a picnic lunch. We played just a bit longer before heading back home to attempt a nap. That always sounds better than it really is.

In the meantime, Chris has started the Austin painting project in Asher's room. We can hardly wait for the finished result.

It was a fun, but exhausting morning of learning! Just another day at the Omaha Children's Museum!
