For the first time in a long time, Allen has a weekend off! Saturday we woke up, and Allen said, "I want to get out of town and do something fun as a family." He remembers his dad taking his family to the SAC Museum (Strategic Air Command) by Omaha, and since it's only a few hours from us, we decided that's where we were going. We told Cael we were going to go see some planes, and, oh my, we were excited.
When you walk into the museum, the first thing you see is an SR-71 hanging from the ceiling. This is Allen's favorite plane. He remembers this plane arriving at the museum when he was little. He saw it before it was hung up. He remembers walking underneath it with his dad, and now he's showing it to Cael!
I love this picture of the boys walking into the hangar. There were two big hangars full of planes!
They have a mock cockpit of a B-52 that you can sit in. So many buttons and levers!
Cael is sitting on the fuel tank of a MIG-21.
After the SAC Museum, we went to the "Wildlife Safari" drive-through exhibit. We saw lots of cool animals. Being from rural Nebraska, though, it was funny to see people getting excited over seeing white tailed deer. We drove on through that one without stopping. Allen said, "If I can't shoot it and eat it, I don't care to see it." This bull elk was posing for cars as they passed by. He even called to his buddies. Cael was impressed.
These silly pelicans were fighting and snapping at each other. Cael was trying to tell them to not be naughty.
A timber wolf. There was also a black bear in the same inclosure, but Allen said the pictures didn't turn out.
