At about 6:30am Saturday June 16th, six weary travelers landed on our front porch... It was a way to short, but oh so fun visit! I'll just let you enjoy the pics and give commentary as necessary.
 |
| Sarah's training for a marathon so she took Brian with her on a run after they got in. |
 |
| Ready to go on their date! |
Saturday was quite full of lots of busyness!
Auntie Sarah took Chloe on a date! Chloe had a blast! I think she felt oh so important :D.
 |
| They got smoothies... |
 |
| ...rode some fun toys... |
 |
| ...and brought home balls for Chloe and Colton! |
 |
| We gave Sarah this hat and scarf set for her birthday and as soon as she put it on, Chloe wanted to wear hers so they could match. | |
|
Saturday was also cake decorating day! I had the cakes all baked but waited for Hannah's help to get them all decorated. Though I've been decorating cakes for years, this was only my 2nd time using a home made fondant recipe that i had found. Hannah wanted to help cause she's thinking about using it on a friends wedding cake that she'll be doing next month!
 |
| Kneading the fondant |
 |
| Chloe wanted to help! |
 |
| At one point i noticed Chloe's face and said "Chloe don't wipe the powder on your face" her reply cracked us all up. In a very serious voice, still concentrating on her task she said, "i'm not". I guess she didn't realize what she was doing :D |
 |
| Hannah did a beautiful job on Bells dress!! |
 |
| All done! And at a decent hour too! I'm so thankful for Hannah's help, I probably would have been working late into the night if she hadn't been there! |
Sunday was the "Birthday Party" that I already blogged about, but we also had the privilege of worshiping all together Sunday morning at our church and Sunday evening at the Church that Nathan and Kristin attend.
 |
| The girls, hoggin' the bathroom :) |
We'd been hearing amazing things about the Omaha zoo, so Monday we decided to brave the heat and go check it out. It was very worth it!
 |
| Colton had this look on his face pretty much every time he saw an animal |
 |
| Gramma, texting her "babe" as Chloe worded it. |
 |
| Add caption |
 |
| Lookin' at the fish with Daddy! |
 |
| We were all amazed at the armor plating that Rhino's appear to have. |
 |
| This baby seal was so little! It was only about three weeks old! |
 |
| Mommy and baby monkey |
 |
| Despite his efforts to read the map, Matt just couldn't quite figure out where the Gorilla exhibit was. |
 |
| Look at all those Gorillas! |
 |
| Some more of the wild and crazy animals we saw at the zoo. |
The Omaha zoo even has a little indoor aquarium, it was neat to see and the air conditioned building felt a-ma-zing!
 |
| Laughing at the penguins zipping around in the water. |
 |
| Say cheese! |
 |
| This picture being cast onto the floor was "interactive" the water would ripple and the fish would swim away when kids walk on it. |
 |
| Colton was very intrigued by the eel. |
 |
| I just love the rays! |
| I think it's safe to say fun was had by all! Here are some other fun things that we did! |
 |
| Yay! For lazer tag! | |
|
 |
| Went out for ice cream! |
 |
| Lots of hanging out, talking and laughing. |
 |
| There they go! |
 |
| Waving goodbye! |
 |
| Well... at least the kids and I were sad to see them go. |
