Vacation in NE

We combined our work trips to NE with our vacation this year. It worked out pretty well except for the massive amount of luggage we had with us.

Brett convinced Sarah that the penguins were coming for her so she had a nice scare!

She put her hands in the water which created the super excited face.  And no she didn't touch the stingrays in the tank.

old school kids!

at Graduation!

Look at those stylin' ladies!

New Childrens Museum!

We went to a new museum today while Daddy had a fun day.  It was a bit far -- about 40 minutes -- but free for service families so figured it would make up for it.  It was in the old downtown area that used to be a bank.  The ceiling and marble columns(mostly covered up) were awesome. Overall, a bit small for another visit but good for a morning.

Steering the Ship!

Trains Trains Trains!

Cool pulley lever system --- I wish they had a few more items like this..

Dress up area int he old bank vault. Sarah liked being Tinkerbell the best and twirled and danced around the mirror. I admit I tried to get her to wear the boy clothes first.

After a meltdown about sharing toys and not wanting to take off her dress and extreme crankiness in the car she finally slept!  This is her new big girl seat. Should last her for years!

Summer!

She did this not me! Pretty in pink!

Sarah added this to the cart... I won't even name all the other items she tried to add....

Wearing her shirt from Hawaii

Artwork and pearls

Nature Walk at the park with our guide Cory.  I don't think Sarah is going to be a nature lover. I had to push her touch the little creatures and she didn't like tall grass or getting her hands dirty. She isn't even two yet and super girly!

Extra Weekend!

I felt like the weekend after the 4th was completely open since I had run all my errands and cleaned on Thursday/Friday.  Sarah now says a few sentences that I can catch sometimes. Very surprised each time.  She also likes the double words... "Eat Eat" for food and "Night Night" for bed/nap time.

The aftermath of Sarah running around in circles wildly waiting for the fireworks to start. 

Our annual visit to where we got our dog and to drop off doggie supplies and our sponsorship of a kennel in memory of Addie.

Sarah and Dad in the Wells Fargo Stagecoach.  It bounced just like you were in a real one!

Sarah at the new Chuy's!  They had a section of the restaurant that seemed to be designated for families (yay!) and some Tex-Mex. Definitely getting my TX sopapillas next time!

Sarah no longer wants to walk in the stroller.  This was a very long 30 minute walk aka x3.
