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!
Benjamin and Ada got to come to the Turner County Fair for 3 days this year. They had a great time! Their favorite place by far is Old MacDonald's Farm where they get to see different animals like camels, miniature donkeys, baby chicks, baby pigs, goats, a water buffalo, eggs hatching, puppies, kittens, etc. Ada's favorite animal was the miniature donkeys. She would stay with them for hours if we let her! She had to say good bye to them every day. She was constantly touching them, hugging them, and then she even got into kissing them! What happened to my timid little girl who only liked looking at the animals and not touching them? Both the kids liked checking out all the different sites of the fair. Benjamin was intrigued by all the big farm equipment and had a great time checking it out. I have always said that he is all boy and one afternoon while Ada and I went to see the animals, Dave and Benjamin checked out the sandbox over by the 4-H Show Ring. As I am told, Benjamin proceeded to dig a big hole in the sandbox leaving Dave to wonder what he was going to do with that hole and then all of a sudden Benjamin sat down and proceeded to bury himself in the sand! He was so proud of himself that he had Dave call Ada and I over to see the "surprise". This fair is very family friendly and we always have a good time--okay, okay I am a little biased as I work in Turner County and have to be at the fair whether or not I want to but we really do have a good time. I look forward to eating at the Pork Producers Booth every year--yummy! I have other favorites but there is something about those pork loin sandwiches that have me hooked!!
