One More Day of Fun in Omaha

Today was our last day in Omaha.  We slept in today, as we were all very tired from yesterday, and we then went to lunch at Upstream Brewery back in the Old Market area again.  They had a really good and diverse menu, and we all enjoyed our food. We then went to the Omaha Children's Musuem during the early afternoon.  We weren't sure if we'd get our money's worth from it, but Joshua really liked it.  He loved playing with the fake food in the kid-sized kitchen.  There was a firetruck with some dress-up clothes, and I briefly got him to agree to wear the jacket and helmet.  Clara couldn't do much, but there was a room for little babies, and she enjoyed crawling around trying to find things to chew on.  We put both kids on the teeter totter and found that Joshua is heaver than Clara.  Physics doesn't lie, I guess.  There was a Wizard of Oz exhibit going on, but it cost extra money, and we don't need our children terrified by scary flying monkeys and whatnot as their grandma once was as a child, so we skipped that.  Afterward, we drove to a safari.  Surprisingly, this did not require us to go to Africa, but instead just about 30 minutes west of Omaha.  We had up-close views of some bison, elk, deer, pelicans, etc.  Then we headed home.  On the way, we stopped for dinner at McDonald's, due to lack of better options, and Joshua had his first Happy Meal.  Overall it was a great vacation, as we got to do quite a few different things, and it was really fun to do them as a family.
