Omaha Children's Museum

On our first day of vacation we visited the Children's Museum.  We weren't sure if Madison would enjoy it or if it would be too old for her.  We were there when it first opened up this morning and it was so crowded!  There were so many kids there it was a little overwhelming for Madison.  I don't think she really enjoyed it that much because there was just too much noise and too many kids running around.  We left, had lunch, a nap, snack and then decided to go back and give it one more try.  We are so glad we went back!  Madison had so much fun when we went back and there weren't nearly as many kids there this time!  

I think Madison's favorite part was the grocery store.  They had little shopping carts and baskets and all kinds of food you could go around and put in your cart.  They even had places where someone could pretend to be the cashier and check out your food.  She had a blast pushing the cart around and finding things to throw in her cart.

They also had a fun place to play with water.  There were a couple fire trucks you could drive and dress up in a coat, boat and hat and stations to play with water to put out the fires.  She loved playing in the water of course and even had fun driving the fire truck!

We went up to the second floor to see the new Elmo exhibit.  She had fun playing a giant piano, running through an obstacle course and of course going "shopping" again!  Overall it was a great day and hope tomorrow goes well too when we go to the indoor waterpark.
