What a crazy day! Yesterday Asher and I hit the
Omaha Children's Museum's members hour (which is from 9-10 on Tuesdays) before going to the
Gene Leahy Mall so Asher could go down the slides.
The
museum
has some new exhibits, at least some we had not spotted before. Asher
wanted to start with Art, which is crazy for him. After doing a little
water coloring, we walked over to see a pizza parlor. How fun! Dare I
say this, but it is better than the Lincoln Children's Museum's Pizza
Parlor exhibit. There is a station where the kids can put together their
pretend pizzas before baking them. There is a big soft pizza for the
little ones, too. There is a restaurant area with a ringing phone where
people call in with their order. Asher was there by himself for 10
minutes answering calls and making pizzas. Um,
Mama's Pizza,
do you need a new employee? Asher rocks at speed and accuracy! I guess
that may break a child labor law or two. Anyhow, it is a great exhibit
for creativity, imagination and fun!
Asher played in
the ball room, the main big room and on the zoo animals. The upstairs is
between exhibits right now, but it was still pretty busy there. Asher
likes to play until another child comes and takes a toy away or pushes
him aside, then Asher is done. I need to work with him on playing along
side other kiddos better. He is just a little too shy for that right now
unless he knows the child really well.
When Asher was ready, we drove down to the G
ene Leahy Mall to
slide the big slides. He loves the slides! It looked like someone had
just been there with wax paper making them crazy slick. Okay, on this
trip, the park was disgusting smelling. I won't go into great
detail...but it caused me to want to leave a little sooner. YUCK! It is
still pretty...but Omaha needs to keep that area looking and smelling
beautiful...just saying.
After our big morning, lunch with Daddy at
Freddy's
in Papillion, shopping for tree replacements with Daddy, back to pick
up the girls to go to swim camp, ugh...we were wiped. All in a days
worth of fun though, right?!
