This past weekend, we revisited Omaha, a great little city in Nebraska just three hours north of us. If you will remember, we initially went to Omaha after Chris turned 2 and we went with the Titus family. The trip was similar except that this time, Chris didn't have to leave to zoo to go home and take a nap so we spent 5 1/2 hours walking around the zoo! And it was cold! Christopher is very into wild animals and likes to take on the persona of his favorite animal de jour. As you may know, since July of last year, Chris has been way into penguins. Currently, he loves big cats, particularly lions. And we were in luck at the zoo! They had 6 lion cubs that were born in December and they were so cute and playful! We went back twice to see them during our visit and just watched them play, cuddle and nurse. We also got a very close up view of a male lion in another cage...
And of course we spent a whole lot of time at the penguin pool! Chris even got to stand next to a picture of an emperor penguin to see how he would measure up.
While we were in Omaha, we ate at some really good restaurants, spent some time in an art gallery, went to the botanical gardens (although nothing was blooming yet!) and went to the Omaha Children's Museum which was so fun! Chris saw a lot of cool things there and got to play a lot before we trekked back to Kansas City. Here are some pictures from the museum. First you'll see some superheroes that were made from all found materials and then you'll see Chris being a mechanic and a firefighter.
And this was totally random but as Chris was taking a bath one night at the hotel, he busted out with a rendition of Dayenu, the song you sing at Passover. Now, Passover was weeks ago but I suppose it made an impression on him! Of course in Christopher's version, the word is Dayemu but it's close enough..
