Omaha with the Lansinks

Jenn and I took the kids to Omaha for a couple days. Thursday we went to the Henry Doorly Zoo. It was a beautiful day. It was almost too warm, the animals were being pretty lazy. The only bad part was all the "extra" fun stuff were closed. Ryan was looking forward to riding the train but it was closed :( The carousel was closed and most of the concession were closed. We still had a great time though. We were able to see a few animals that we didn't get to see in August.

Thursday night we stayed at a new waterpark hotel. Ryan had a good time swimming. I think we were at the waterpark for close to 3 hours then woke up the next morning and swam in the regular swimming pool for another hour before we had to check out of the hotel. He is such a waterbug.

Before heading back to Iowa on Friday, we stopped at the Omaha Children's Museum. Both boys had a lot of fun. Neither of them wanted to leave but it was 4pm and we had to get home. There was so much to do. I think Jack's favorite thing was the splish splash water table. Ryan's favorite thing was putting out the pretend fire with water hoses and driving the rescue boat. Here he is shopping in the pint-size grocery store and milking a cow...

I have been trying for SO LONG to get a good picture of Ryan and Jack. I can never get both of them to look at the camera at the same time, let alone smile. LOOK! A GOOD PICTURE!!
