Reading and reading...
We spend alot of time reading books in our house! Ada and Benjamin both loved reading and learning about dinosaurs. Here she is reading the dinosaur book to "flat Ada". It was too cute!Pool Time!
While in Omaha we stayed at a hotel that had some indoor slides. Dave was pretty excited to stay there so Benjamin could go swimming and sliding. Let's just say, Benjamin LOVED it!! He was in Heaven! All we did the first day when we got to Omaha was go swimming/sliding. Benjamin would wake up early and go to bed late just so he could go swimming/sliding! He would sleep hard each night as he was so tired from all of our activities. Don't let the pictures fool you...Ada HATED the slides. She went down each slide once. One time with me (little slide) and one time with Dave (big slide). For the picture I put her on the slide and let her slide down by herself. She did great but she didn't like it at all. She enjoyed swimming and had no fear of the deep water she just didn't like the water slides at all!Children's Museum
A trip to Omaha is not complete for us without a stop at the Children's Museum! We spent all Sunday afternoon there and the kids were in heaven. By far the favorite for both kids was picking corn and playing house. Benjamin's favorite thing to do every time we are there is pick corn. Our little farmer! And Ada is following right in his footsteps. 
These two decided it was bedtime at the house. Don't they look so cute play sleeping? Benjamin enjoyed cooking in a kitchen that was just his size! He liked looking in the fridge, oven, cupboards, and microwave. He was always busy cooking somebody some food. Ada enjoyed sitting on the couch and organizing the food and dishes.
Another area that Ada spent a good hour at was at the supermarket. She enjoyed grocery shopping. Can you tell she likes fruits and veggies? She did not leave one in the store. She had to put them all in her cart. That was a lot of toys to put away when we were done!
These two had to check out the seat where they had to pull themselves up. Neither one was afraid of going up high. It was only a few feet up in the air but they had a blast. Dave and I were always close by and hanging onto the other end of the rope (so they wouldn't come crashing down).
Benjamin enjoys playing dress-up so he loved being able to dress up and pretend that he was a fireman. Both Benjamin and Ada enjoyed putting out the fire with the water hoses.
We had a great time at the museum and it was hard to believe that we spent all afternoon there! I could have sworn that we were there for only an hour or so! I guess time flys when you are having fun!
