We soaked up a few last days of summer at the Axtell Pool. I remember dreaming years ago about the days when I could just soak up the sun while my kiddos played in the pool. Well, that day has arrived, sort of. I thought we were done swimming, so I dressed Lucy. When the boys decided they wanted to play a while longer, I just let her crawl around and let the big boys play. It was everything I ever dreamed of.
We met Luke’s family in Omaha for a fun weekend away. On our way there, we stopped at the Children’s museum in Lincoln and spent the night with the Guenthers.
This man loves maps. He sat and stared while the rest of us played. One of his many quirks
After a night at the Guenthers, we went to The Donut Hole in the Rail Yard. Best. Donuts. Ever. Ever. Then we walked across the pedestrian bridge together.
That night, we met at our hotel in Omaha and played at the mini water park. After, Lizzy graciously agreed to watch our crazies so we could do an adults only dinner. Word to the wise: avoid Storz’ Trophy Room like the plague, but the company was great! We did the zoo on Saturday. The kids were SO good and it was only when the adults finally started getting tired that we had to call it quits for the day. We made the kids buddy up –the main purpose of which was to make the kids hold hands, because 5 year olds + holding hands = adorable.
For an extra treat, we got the full access pass to the zoo, so we had unlimited rides on the train, tram and carousel. I ended up on the tram with 5 little hoodlums!
Dominic and Sophia were glued at the hip the whole day. She is such a sweet little girl.
The prairie dogs were so tame, they untied Dominic’s shoe laces while we all watched!
Sunday, we hit up Mass and met Jake for Lunch. SUCH a great weekend!
