Meighan's 4th Gotcha Day!

I can't believe it's already been 4 years since we met Meighan!  It seems like she's been in our lives longer than that!  She is almost done with her Pre-K year of school and will start Kindergarten in August!  Wow!

Today we went to church and then came home and ate a quick lunch.  She wanted to go to the Omaha Children's Museum for her Gotcha Day activity.  Tony didn't want to watch Dawson there so they stayed home while we went.  I swear, I think Meighan could go down slides all day if she had the opportunity!  There were several slides there and she'd just go down and run back up and slide down again -- over and over and over....!  Currently (and for the next week--the last week of it) there is an exhibit there called "Itty Bitty City".  It's basically a mini version of Omaha.  Among the areas/sponsors there is a police car to sit in, WOWT weather green screen and you can see yourself on TV, Mutual of Omaha Wild Kingdom area, Security National Bank, eco-friendly home (playhouse), play restaurant, mini Borsheim's jewelry, MUD area, airport, Werner Enterprises mini semi truck, fire station, an ambulance, a city bus, an animal hospital, and other areas I'm probably missing.  She also spent lots of time in the gravity area where the balls fall every once in a while.  We also attended a science demonstration on gravity and air pressure.

Here's pictures of her enjoying her time there.

Of course, she had to ride the reindeer on the carousel first!
 
Big smile after sliding!
 
She got to take care of some animals in the animal hospital.
 
Talking to headquarters or dispatch in the police car.

Putting balls in the Super Gravitron!
 
And all the balls fall out every so often!
 
More sliding!
 
And more!
 
And MORE!
 
They even had old pedal cars.  She couldn't get the pedals to work well and the steering was nearly impossible and the other kids kept bumping into her back so she switched to a tricycle.
 
Teeter totter airplane.  Kinda cool!
 
 
 
HAPPY GOTCHA DAY, MEIGHAN!
