Spring Break: Omaha, Nebraska

We left Chicago early this morning and headed towards Omaha, Nebraska. We planned to drive for most of the day on Saturday and stop in Omaha for a couple days. Once we arrived at the CoCo Key Resort in Omaha we checked in and hit the water park. It was great for the kids to run around and release all of the energy built up from 8 hours of driving. The next morning we woke up and went to the Omaha Zoo. The trip there started out with a band when Evy fell on a concrete bench before we even had our tickets for the zoo. Luckily the first-aid station was operated by the Children's Hospital and a wonderful nurse helped us clean up Evy. She had a cut inside her lip, a chipped tooth. a swollen lip and a cut on her chin. Once she was cleaned up she still wanted to see the animals so off we went! After a day at the zoo we headed back to the hotel for naps and everyone was wiped out! After dinner we decided to skip the water park for the night and go straight to bed. Our final morning the kids spent time in the water before getting in the car and heading to our next stop in Rapid City, South Dakota. We really enjoyed Omaha. The kids loved the zoo and the water park. The highlight for Matt was checking out Warren Buffet's house!
