Durham History Museum: Christmas Tree and Santa Clause

 Went to museum with Charity's kids to see the tree and Santa Clause.  Santa Clause is in an auditorium underneath the museum.  We did some art and building projects, and visited the wedding dress and hockey exhibits.  These exhibits are not part of the permanent display so wanted to catch them while they are there.  Hockey was very fun.  They had a whole bunch of game like air hockey and hockey shooting cages.  All the kids took a turn, even Riley.  She was funny holding the hockey stick.  And of course putting the pucks in her mouth.

Welcome to Omaha/Bellevue: Two Springs Park in Southwest Bellevue

 I visited this park looking for Cold Springs, where members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints stayed in the summer of 1846.  This is probably not the place but it is somewhere close and would have been similar.  Our ward is called Cold Springs.  The park has a playground with climbing wall, covered picnic area and backstop.  It is just south of where the two springs start to form Whitted Creek.  The Daniell Trail follows the creek.
