Last weekend we took a little trip to Omaha for a family vacation. Emma didn't have school on Friday so we left Friday morning and stopped in Lincoln for lunch at
CHUCK E. CHEESE!!
(where else??)
The kids were not interested in getting close to Chuck. They picked the table that was as far away as possible from the stage.
Luke tried to sneak a peek, but you can tell by the look on his face that he was concerned with the huge, robotic, dancing, singing mouse .
Joe had never been to this wonderful establishment before. He was having a blast, can you tell?
After a delicious pizza, it was GAME TIME!
With the 200 tickets we won, the kids each picked out 2 prizes. They each got a mini tootsie pop, Addie got a slinkie that lasted all of 12 hours, Emma got a ring that she left at the rest stop 10 minutes later (a lot of tears were shed over the ring), and Luke got a spider that he threw away as soon as he got to the hotel in Omaha.
Next stop:
Coco Key
This is the kiddie pool where we spent most of our time.
These are other pictures of the water resort. It was very quiet Friday afternoon when we first got there. But Friday night and Saturday were crazy!
The girls wasted no time getting in the water. Luke watched for a long time before he decided to get in.
But once he did, he loved it!
Especially these fountains on the side.
The girls went down these slides at least 45 billion times. Luke would climb up there, but then just play. See Joe at the bottom telling him to come down? He never did. Except for the time I pushed him. He didn't like it.
Colin and Shelley Kramer met us at the water park on Saturday morning. This is Emma with Nathan. They also have an adorable little girl named Addie.
Riding on the Lazy River.
Saturday afternoon we hit the zoo. It was perfect weather for January.

Walking into the bat cave. I couldn't get out of here fast enough!
Addie sharing her knowledge of the dung beetle with Luke. I'm sure it was interesting.
Emma wanted to know everything about everything.
Walking on the bridge in the Jungle.
On Saturday night our friends, Brad and Heidi, met us at Coco Key. And they brought the gorgeous girls with them.
