Omaha, Nebraska

...road trippin to Florida

08.08.2007 - 08.15.2007

Luckily, we made it to Omaha just in time to see Wendy and Daniela before their big trip to NYC. Even though we missed them for a few days, we still got to hang out with Dennis during that time who always takes great care of us!

The Joslyn Art Museum has a Jazz on Green event each week where you bring a chair or blanket, and the wine of your choice - it was a lot of fun and relaxing, no wonder there are so many people that attend.

The Henry Dorley Omaha Zoo is really incredible - hadn't been there in 10+ years, so we tagged along with Tracy, Brian, Maddy and Danny.

Which one does not belong?

Elephants - Tracy and Mom's favorite! Now Cujo can say he rode an elephant.

This display is due to Barb's parents!

Will *never* grow up! Look at the kid on the floor looking at him - funny!

Grandma and Cujo cruisin around town on the hog:

We rode over to Lincoln, where an old junior high school friend of mine lives now - hadn't seen her in ages and just found out she lived there! It was great to see her again, and meet some of her family - adorable kids!

The Rib Cookoff was being held in Lincoln that day, so OF COURSE we stopped for that - mmmmmmm.

We all (minus Lauren) went out to Manawa for a great bike ride. Poor Kristen was on a skinny tube cruiser and the trails weren't nice to her, but it was still a blast. I saw squirrels and birds and frogs on our trail. Jack and Kirsten did awesome!

Tried to go to the Plain White T's concert in Memorial Park but got severe thunderstorm warning'd out. Packed up just in time for the downpour. Went back after the majority of the rain, but a very wet and unhappy guy walking away from the park told us the concert had been changed from rain delay to cancelled. Went home then, but found out later that they actually played. ARGH.
But....we held our own mini-concert back at home.
