Day Twenty-Five - Year Two

Sam and Jim went for a bike ride on the trails in Schramm Park this morning – and Sam got his first experience riding a bike on a trail and a bridge!  When they came back, he said they went up a “ton of steep hills.”  J

That afternoon we went downtown Omaha to check out the place of Lewis and Clark’s landing.  There was a cool educational center with some pelts on display, along with one display that showed all the different uses for the parts of the bison.  Very interesting!  We walked across the Bob Kerrey Pedestrian Bridge, which is the only pedestrian bridge in the country that links two states over a river.  The water level in the MO River was really low, showing the effects of the drought in this area.

On the way back to the campground, we stopped off at Bear Lake Park to check out a wind organ on display there.  It was a really windy day, so we got to hear it’s eerie sounds!  That would be spooky at night!
