Air and Space Museum

Earlier this year Jack got some free tickets to the Strategic Air and Space Museum here in Omaha, so we decided to take the kids there last Friday. Tyler had a lot of fun. There was a special display of a collection of Train sets that people had made and collected, Ty thought that was pretty cool. As you walk in there was a Stealth Bomber hanging, Tyler took in a big gasp at it, he was pretty cute. Then as you keep walking you get an upper level view of a big hanger with all the old airplanes in it, another GASP! "Go down there! Go down there!!!" There were a few fun things for him to go sit in and pretend to fly the planes, play with the controls, a kids traveling exhibit that had a kids flight simulator, and of course a lot of old airplanes. We never went to the Air and Space Museum in Tucson because it was all outdoors...and just too hot to be outside...this was a lot better since it was indoor...and just too cold to be outside. Actually, we felt kinda bad when we got there because the temperature was in the single digits with the wind blowing hard (so the wind chill was well into the negatives), the second I opened the door Jacob would start crying. There was a nice sheet of ice...then snow...then ice on top of that on the ground too. So, Jack drove us up to as close to the door as we could get and rushed us inside then parked the car. Boy, it was cold that day, but we had fun. Here are some pictures from our visit.

This last one is for our friend Rob H. who used to fly in a C-130 (we think...hope we're right haha -the patch on the bottom left).
