Omaha

This past weekend Ed and I headed to Omaha to visit Luke and Collin (Ed's brothers). We left Saturday night after Ed got off work at 11 and we, correction, I drove 6 hours all night while Ed slept the whole way! We took Buck and Miley with us and they helped keep me awake while I was driving. We finally arrived at Luke's house at 7 a.m. 

Buck also slept the whole way down

Ed trying to look noble! 

After a power nap we started our weekend off with a trip to, you guessed it, Bass Pro Shop and Cabela's. We spent over an hour at each which is amazing for the Revord boys and I was very proud of them! I personally think if you've seen one Bass Pro you've seen them all but my husband and brother-in-laws seem to feel differently! We walked around Cabela's talking about how many animals they were going to kill this winter and where they were going to hunt etc. After an hour of that we got to do something I enjoy, food! Then we went to Bas Pro and did the exact same thing, minus eating.
After our excursion of the hunting shops we headed back to Luke's house to relax.








The boys loved these hats and they looked so cute all matching!
Ed and I have found a new favorite game while we were in Jamaica, Jenga! We brought it to Omaha with us and the four of us played Jenga all afternoon!

Jenga!!

A Lube Tube- 10 beers in that tube!

Sunday night we headed to the famous Quaker Steak and Lube. Luke and Collin had been talking about this restaurant for weeks, ever since they ate hot wings there. The thing about these hot wings is that the restaurant requires whoever orders them to sign a waver stating that they won't sue, eat at the customers own risk, etc. Also the boys had to wear gloves while eating the wings....We weren't brave enough to try the extreme wings so we settled with burgers and beer (I  enjoyed a daiquiri). Our favorite part of the restaurant was the cars and motorcycles hanging from the ceiling. The Lube Tube was Ed and Luke's favorite.

On Monday we visited the Omaha Zoo and it is the most amazing zoo I have ever been to. There were so many exhibits and so many animals. The best exhibits were all inside so we didn't venture out into the cold to visit the big animals. The one exhibit that made me feel like a kid as I clung to Ed's hand was the swamp exhibit. It was under the desert dome so it was dark and looked just like a Louisiana swamp. We walked on a bridge over the swamp and the only thing that separated us from the gators, beavers, and other swamp creatures was chicken wire and a rope fence. We caught glimpses of the gators as they splashed into the water, scaring me to death! I really felt like a little girl when Ed went around the corner and I saw a snake and then heard a huge splash; I went running and yelling for Ed. The good husband I have just stood there and laughed at me as I ran to him.

Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures from the swap because it was so dark, but here are some pictures of our other adventures from the day! 

The gorilla wanted a picture with me :)

We loved all the fish! All the fish that I wanted to see were there; Nemo, Dory, Bruce, Crush and the rest of the characters from Finding Nemo (one of our favorite animated movie). It was a beautiful aquarium. 

It looks like there is nothing between them!

We loved all the cats. The were so close and there were so many different breeds! One of the Tigers had a kitten with her and we decided that the next pet we want is a Tiger kitten! This was Ed's favorite exhibit. 

The Rainforest exhibit, or as we liked to call it Jamaica :)

 Our trip to Omaha was a great experience and we had a blast! November has been a very exciting month for us, we can't wait to see what the rest of the month brings!
