Omaha Adventure

We decided to make a half day of being in Omaha since we were going for my cousin's evening graduation party. Grandma Kathleen stayed with Elias until Logan got home from work, so the big boys and I headed to Omaha to play at a splash park! 

 

It's really all about the snacks with this one. 

 

It was great in the sun! They stayed warm enough to play in the water, and I stayed cool enough in the shade. We did use sunscreen just to be safe, and I lost my wedding rings in the thick grass for 5 minutes due to said sunscreen. After frantic searching, praying, and a few tears we found them. Thank you St. Anthony!

A few weeks ago when it became consistently warm enough for water play I told Augustine that when I was a little girl I loved swinging to dry off after being in the water. Ever since then he always says yes when I suggest it. And Lewis always picks what Augustine picks, so there you go. 

Once dry, we headed to Aunt Beth's to squeeze in a little Playmobil fun.

Then it was off to the graduation party and I promptly forgot to get a picture with Kolya! Arg! We had lots of fun eating great food, chalking on the sidewalk, having cartwheel contests, and getting airbrush tattoos. 

 

 My sisters and I put together the classic laundry dorm kit. Everything you see and a roll of quarters. So easy, so useful.  

 We headed home way past bedtime (that's what summer is about, right?!). Grandpa Mike rode home with us. My mom had asked me if I could take something back in my car a few days before the party, and I said sure. Then at the party the conversation went like this:

Me: Mom what do you want me to take back in my car?

Mom: Dad. See if he's ready to go. 

Me: 😂

Grandpa and the boys told jokes almost the whole way home. It was hilarious. Not because of the jokes though. It was a fun adventure day!
