Zoo, Concert, and Fireworks

Wow we were busy this past week.  The weather here was amazing!!! I mean when in July does TEXAS have 80's?? Okay really!!  Besides the busy stuff I had to do this week...car in shop, meetings for tennis, and such I knew we had to squeeze in a quick trip to the zoo.

Thus our sweet friends Kacie and her cute little girl T joined us for a quick visit to the zoo this past week.  Miss H and T were adorable looking at all the animals and having a blast.  As stated prior if the weather had not been so wonderful we would have never been able to enjoy this fun outing.  Of course I took a million pics but here are some favorites.  Miss H loves the animals so much...I love going with her!

finally H will stand next to the fake animals!!

Not only did we do the zoo this week but we also were fortunate enough to attend Concert in the Gardens.  Kacie's family invited us and man what fun it was! On top of them we also ran into our other favorite friends the Ortiz's.  The music was great...kids had a blast...and the fireworks were awesome.  Miss H loved playing with the kiddos, dancing, but most of all the fireworks.  I couldn't believe that she was not scared!  She loved them and even asked for more when it ended.  I love summer, amazing weather, and good friends!!

First trip to NE!

Miss H got to enjoy her first trip to the great state of Nebraska over Memorial weekend.  Chris' good buddy Z planned a guys golf weekend!  Chris grew up in Omaha and was excited to head back and meet up with all his high school buddies.  Miss H and I tagging along to hang out with Chris' mom, dad, sister, and brother who drove up from MN.  Z probably wasn't thrilled about that but we were happy to hang with the Roberts while they enjoyed their golf and guy time.  

We had a blast while we were there.  Miss H, Nana, Riley and I all spent Friday at the Omaha Zoo.  What is sad is we probably didn't even get to see 1/2 of the zoo in our time there.  The zoo is amazing I tell you.  Miss H loved every second of it and Riley did too.  We got to see so many cool animals and exhibits it was wonderful.  While we did the zoo the guys were golfing of course.

 Ready for a fun train ride through the zoo! 

 She wanted a birdie to land on her stick so bad! 

This cute otter played peek a boo with Miss H for like 20 minutes...so dang cute!

 After the zoo we all met up at Big Fred's for dinner.  Chris loves Big Fred's!  Dinner was a blast we got to enjoy Z's parents and a few of Chris' high school friends.  I love hearing all the crazy stories from the high school days. The guys all took off and went to a buddies house while Miss H and I headed back to the hotel for some zzz's.  We were tired from our time at the zoo.

 Uncle Z is so funny!!

The next day the guys were up and off to golf rather early.  Miss H, Nana, Riley and I just enjoyed a relaxed day of hanging out.  We did a little shopping too.  We also got to spend time with Chris' Aunt (his moms sister) and her family. I think we figured out that it had been about 5 years since Chris and I had been to Omaha.  Later that evening Z's family hosted a little cook out.  We had a blast just eating, talking, and enjoying the great weather.  

Thats right if you have to go home naked because you played in the water...you at least need your bow on! 

 We all enjoyed a slide down the big slide in downtown!  

 Sweet girl enjoying her babies while we wait on the plane!   She is so dang funny!!

 She thinks she is so big! 

This was the perfect little trip for everyone.  Miss H and I got to hang with the girls and the boys got to golf.  Everyone was happy :-)   Hope your Memorial weekend was a good as ours!!
