Family Time

We stayed in the coolest VRBO in Omaha.  Everyone loved it.  It included a secret game room and indoor pool.  They entertained themselves jumping off the diving board for hours. 

There was a really cool Medieval Putt Putt by where we were staying.  It's definitely the most creative mini golf we've ever tried.  We had a boys and a girls team. 

There was a lot of laughing and giggling while golfing, and Anna and Little Lady got a couple of hole in ones. 

Animals in Omaha

Ever since we moved to Kansas City people have been telling us we need to go to the Omaha Zoo.  It took us 5 years, but we finally made it as part of our Thompson family reunion.  It lives up to the hype.  It's one of the best zoos we've ever been to.  I think I may even like it better than the Columbus Zoo which has always been my favorite. 

We also went to the Wildlife Safari.  The kiddos enjoyed the real and mechanical animals. 

We got really lucky that the weather cooperated while we were at both places, because it rained quite a bit before and after.

4 Corners

The lesser known 4 corners is Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, and Nebraska.  It's an overlook, because of the Missouri River separating two of the states.  

Game Night

 The Altmans taught the boys three new games: Splendor Dual, Ticket to Ride: New York City, and Blue Lagoon.

Unique

 He's always walked to the beat of his own drum.  He's a little bit crazy, but he's our crazy.

Phew

I've been worried about our large tree in the front yard for the last 2 months.  There has been a long wait to get the broken tree limbs cut.  I finally got a call on Friday saying they'd be here on Tuesday.  I was so relieved, but the next day one of the dead branches fell and hit our neighbors fence.  We quickly moved it, but Tuesday felt a long ways away.  Yesterday they finally trimmed the tree.  It looks a lot better even if the middle is now missing.  They said it's still really healthy, so here's to hoping we don't have any more issues with it.  

A Furry Four

The ladies turn 4 today!  They are now officially older than my children in cat years, but sadly, this has not lessened their propensity toward mayhem and mischief.  It's a good thing they're cute.
