Lincoln Nebraska Children's Museum

When visiting my husband's family in Nebraska, we took the boys to the Children's Museum in Lincoln one day, which was a huge hit.  We gathered eggs, shopped for groceries, and played with the needle wall.

There were motorcycles to ride, space ships to fly, and faces to paint (in a previous post, some of you asked if I painted Cort's face myself, and the answer is yes - using Q-tips!). 

We dressed like Cornhuskers and threw footballs, and admired this HUGE (the picture doesn't do it justice - I took it from the 3rd floor) sculpture of the Nebraska Capital Building made from Lincoln Logs. 

There was a room full of water fun, where the boys succeeded in getting their shirts quite wet. 

And of course, there were prairie dog suits to wear and tunnels to crawl through. 

We ended with a stop at the gift shop, where the boys' Grandma was kind enough to treat them to some new Melissa and Doug toys (plus a pirate umbrella for Cort).  The boys had an excellent time and were sad when it was time to go.  They were so worn out that the twins both fell asleep in the car on the drive when we left!  What a fun day.
