Omaha Road Trip Day 5

We made the long drive home on the last day.  My two cuties before we hit the road:


Pretending to sleep:


And apparently those are the only pictures I took that day!  But, we had a safe, uneventful trip home and a lovely time!

Omaha Road Trip Day 4

We had a low-key last day in Omaha.  We did some more playing outside.  Harper continued to love the snappers:



Love this pic of my boy:


We set off some of our own fireworks (which makes me a nervous wreck and I make the kids stand way back):





The kids did sparklers for the first time (again - nervous wreck):








Harper found Trent's "pookie" from childhood and adopted him:




Earlier that day we did a little shopping and the kids got to ride a ferris wheel:











We found a sweet little playground to play at:






Then we had dinner at the Surfside Club (delicious fried chicken and YUMMY corn fritters!):





We saw some wild turkeys wandering around a neighborhood:


Then fireworks time:



Omaha Road Trip Day 3


I love taking "traditional" pictures of my kids and capturing them every year if possible.  This was from 2011:

2014:

 The 4th of July was a beautiful day and we spent the majority of it outside playing:




There is no telling what was going on here:


We went to Fort Calhoun to buy some fireworks. Harper accompanied her dad to the stand:






Then we had some scooter time:




We set off some parachute guys (I think that's what they are called) and Harper LOVED the snappers:






Earlier that day, Hudson played with Star Wars figures...just like Daddy used to:



















This is what Harper thought of the fireworks going off:



Then later that night, we went to watch the fireworks at the country club:









We caught some fireflies:




It was a beautiful night!
