A Cool Place On A Hot Afternoon
It has been near or at 100 F for three days. Leah couldn’t go outside, and was restless. She was really searching for something to do all day Friday and Saturday. On Sunday we decided to spend some time at the Omaha Children’s Muesum because that was a good place for Leah to run around and play yet not get too heated.
I think that Omaha’s Children Muesum is an almost unknown asset of my fair city. Of course, it is known because the place was packed. But for children from ages 3-8, I can’t think of a better thing than to get a membership at the Muesum.
Anyway, Leah loves the place. She doesn’t walk from place-to-place – she runs. And for the first hour she is never sure what to do next. She ends up going from one activity, playing a little, and then moving to the next one. She always ends up spending a lot of time in the little grocery store — she loves to pretend she’s shopping and putting the items in the little checkout line. The OCM’s special exhibit is Bob the Builder. It takes up most of their second floor and Leah loved each and every thing.
We spent almost two and a half hours there and we didn’t even see it all — the cool Science Center. Leah was too busy shopping to do that.
And where did we go after that? Well, when we got back to our van the temperature gauge said 106F! So we headed to Ted and Wally’s to get cooled down some more.
